🅡 Mobile Energy @philippfleischmann 28/11/2025 — 17/01/2026 Curated by Hana O. O. Haas . . . Philipp Fleischmann Film Sculpture (9), 2025 16 mm film, colour, silent, aluminium, polyoxymethylene Variable dimensions Fleischmann’s film sculptures operate as spatial instruments that respond to their exhibition environments through scale, rhythm, and duration. They transform space into resonant chambers for stroboscopic abstractions and chromatic sequences. In Film Sculpture (9), a 16mm film strip moves through projection, LED-lit rails, and material presence. For the first time fully freestanding, projector and screen form part of the sculpture itself, conceived as a Möbius loop where inside and outside merge. As in Fleischmann’s practice overall, the work resists fixity and remains in constant transformation. One Meter of White explores infinite formal variations derived from a single length of 16mm film, repeatedly reworked after the perforations are removed. Philipp Fleischmann (b. 1985, Hollabrunn; lives and works in Vienna) is an artist and filmmaker. Since 2014, he has been artistic director of the School Friedl Kubelka for Independent Film. His work has been shown at the fjk3–Contemporary Art Space, Vienna, Bienal de São Paulo, Biennale de Lyon, Secession Vienna, mumokKino, MAK Schindler Residency Program (LA), Museum of the Moving Image (NYC), Berlinale, and Toronto International Film Festival. In 2025, he received the Austrian Prize for Film and Art. @ravnikar_org in collaboration with @ulay.foundation 📸©️Manuel Carreon Lopez | kunst-dokumentation.com #mobileenergy #philippfleischmann #ulayfoundation

HAPPY 20th! This Thursday and Friday, we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the ‘School for Independent Film’ with 4 screenings @austrianfilmmuseum which I had the enormous pleasure to curate. I’ve held many roles throughout the school’s existence @schulefriedlkubelka_film It began when Friedl Kubelka told me she was thinking of starting a second school for film. At the time, I was part of the photography class at @schulefriedlkubelka_photo and we were on a trip to Paris. I remember that moment vividly. I had always wanted to study film; I studied photography only because I had no other option. Where what is willed must be! Friedl shared the motto for the film school with me on the streets of Paris, and it has stayed with me ever since. I reacted so strongly to it because I wanted so badly to work with film on my own terms. Before then, I had worked in the commercial film and television industry throughout my teenage years. It all starts with the mind—with a thought, with a desire. The rest follows. This has proven true both for my artist self, shaped during those years, and for my “artistic director” self, now responsible for the school’s vision for the past 13 years. Today I feel good that I’ve never given up and continued to believe in the necessity of this school to exist. BIG Love to my team and friends, couldn’t have done this without you! Happy Birthday to this cute, wild, crazy environment. I can’t believe the ride we’ve had and how many, many, many amazing people we’ve met along the way. Hope to see you at the screenings! 😘 XP

I‘m very honored to share with you my current interview for @CollectorsAgenda with the amazing and wonderful @PhilippFleischmann , whose work I‘ve been admiring for a long while! Thank you for taking the time to talk to me about your practice and motivation 💖 »The Austrian artist Philipp Fleischmann works with analogue film formats, reflecting on institutional architecture through experimental methods. In his process-oriented practice, he develops specially constructed cameras that create a direct connection between space, light, and materiality. He is interested in the interplay of visibility and representation, and how cultural institutions shape our perception. Conceptual rigor is combined with a precise visual language, resulting in cinematic works that oscillate between documentation, abstraction, and spatial intervention.« 📌 Read the full article on Collectors Agenda‘s website Photos: (c) @Maximilian_Pramatarov #PhilippFleischmann #CollectorsAgenda
