THE 100.000TH JOURNEY | film sequence still - video 2' 35''




JOAS SEBASTIAN NEBE is a german artist, born 1968
his main interest is film-making, but he works also upon painting & installations

the PHILOSOPHICAL & ENCYCOPEDIC CARTOONS series of 2005-08
is a small anthology of his film production
here we see only stills of short films that they are speaking about the limitations of our perception systems
they are trying to show the invisible or the impossible
they are consisting finally a kind of a philosophical discourse about the end of our life
his motives of urban landscapes describe the feelings of the humans
who accidentally are living & moving as puppets there
their hopeless effort for finding safety
their nostalgic journey towards death
Joas Sebastian Nebe gives to us with a melancholic humour the secret or hidden dimension of the reality
poses to us questions in an almost ironical style about the nature of time & space
where all we are inevitably lost
