Max Grünauer - Bildgestaltung — Diploma of Fine Arts

As we looked Outside (experimental Short) and Installation

My diploma exhibition is based on an experimental short film and a extending sound work, which are combined with other video segments to form a expanded cinema enviroment.
The film is about human behavior in relation to climate change and the generational conflict of our time.

I am a student of fine arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg and will graduate in summer 2024. I have been working in the film industry for almost 10 years, meanwhile as a cinematographer and gaffer.

During my 6 month stay in Porto I am able to create a large collection of visual and audio material that will be the basis of the exhibition. The narrative shooting will take place in Portugal in February 2024 and is a collaboration of different creatives and filmmakers. From 16 months of collaboration, we will realize a very challenging project. Each of us brings his own quality to the project, far from usual positions in the production.
The project is completely independently funded and tries to stay true to its experimental approach until the end.

The project started with a stay in Portugal in 2020, when I studied the artificial natural surroundings of parks and the series "Veil" was created.

I am currently seeking funding for the project from regional sponsors in Portugal and cultural sponsors in Germany, as well as from contemporary art oriented foundations. These can be grants, but also exhibition bound production cost contributions. If you are interested, please contact me.
