Über Enkidu rankX

Franco-German media artist Enkidu rankX [ınˈkiːdu ræŋk eks] was born 1972 in Saarbrücken / Germany. After his studies in Belgium he settled down in Berlin in 1996 where he is working and living up to this day. His work is comprised of video-art, glitch-art, installations and interaction with dance and theatre. “My art deals with issues such as relational miscommunication, the effect of technology on the human condition and the loss of identity that comes with the advent of virtualization an simulation.”

Producing this album was a pain and a bliss at the same time, and you can hear that, I believe. It took me 3 years. Parts of it where recorded in Poland just before a very intense time in my life and it seems this album reflects these very trying experiences I had thereafter. Initially thought of as a 2nd part to the antecedent album-maxi-ep “The Rift” it more and more turned into something more conceptual. It became a story, a dark fairytale and it is supposed to be listened to in one go, as an album – old school. And even if its mood is often grim, it tries to get to a point of peaceful acceptance of the beauty of our existence – it has a very simple message I guess: “Things will not last forever, so do not waste your time and energy.”

I want to thank adamned.age, Thomas, Yola & Thiemo for helping making this possible, and I dedicate “to Kate” to Katja Becker, “lost at sea” to Yola Icho and “this mans story” to myself and all people who dare to make mistakes in their lives. Mostly I thank Sulamith, whom I love, for her beautiful pictures and her patience.

„Where is politics today? Is it where people are collectively manifesting their disenchantment with the structures of authority and the political class?

der Berliner Problembär

Gespart werden kann immer. Zur Not an der eigenen Substanz 😉

Bis auf die Knochen

bis auf die Knochen…„, Intervention, Tusche, 2012
entstanden anlässlich der Ausstellung „Zwischenspiel“

Berliner Bär 01  Berliner Bär 02

Als Problembär werden im deutschen Sprachraum Bären bezeichnet, die meist nicht artgerechte Verhaltensmuster aufweisen. Problembären sind regelmäßig nur eine indirekte Gefährdung für Menschen, produzieren durch ihr Verhalten aber oft erhebliche Schäden.“ aus Wikipedia >>

Weitere Infos zur Ausstellung hier>>

Aufgrund eine freundlichen Spende durch arthome.info / Irene Walz werden wir nun den Problembär einige Zeit länger artgerecht halten können. Vielen Dank hierfür… 😉
