CV PHILIPP GEIST

1976 born in Witten a.d. Ruhr, 28. February
Currently lives and work in Berlin and Weilheim (Germany)

Philipp Geist works internationally as a light and multi-media artist in the mediums of video, performance, photography and painting. The Berlin artist Philipp Geist (1976) showed a 4D mapping installation on the facade of the royal throne in Bangkok on the occasion of king Bhumibol's 82nd birthday in December 2009. The one-hour-show was the central part of the celebrations and was seen by 2-3 million of visitors. In 2008, during the 'Long Night of the Museums', he showed his video installation 'time fades' at the Kulturforum. In this installation Geist interprets the themes of space and time. He avoids using canvasses and projects directly on parts of the façade of the architecture and on transparent grounds like sheets of gauze and fog.In September 2007, he realized the video installation 'Time Lines' on the entire front of the Palazzo delle Espozioni in Rome at its re-opening after it had been closed for five years. The installation was opened by the mayor of Rome, Walter Veltroni, and was seen by approx. 20.000 visitors. In 2005, he realized the large project 'Winterzauber' ('Winter Magic') for the Lake Side Restaurant in Zurich and in 2006, he opened the Salon Noir within the context of the exhibition 'Melancholie, Genie und Wahnsinn' ('Melancholy, Genius and Insanity') in the Berlin Neuen National Galerie. Together with the symphony orchestra OBC Barcelona and the Finnish sound ensemble Pan Sonic, Geist opened in 2004 the Sonar Festival in Barcelona. His works were shown at the Dissonanze Festival in Rome, at Clubtransmediale in Berlin and at the Mutek Festival in Montreal which is renowned for new media. He has exhibited his live video performances internationally at the Central House of Artists (CHA) in Moscow, the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) in London, the National Gallery in Warsaw (Zacheta) and at the opening of the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich.Further projects are characterized by their complexity and the integration of the location, the sound and moving images.

Philipp Geist arbeitet international als Licht- und Multimediakünstler. Im Dezember 2009 bespielte Geist über einen Zeitraum von neun Tagen den königlichen Thron in Bangkok mit einer Video-Mapping-Installation anlässlich des 82. Geburtstags des thailändischen Königs Bhumibol Adulyadej. Die Installation wurde von 2,5 Millionen Besuchern vor Ort gesehen. Im Juni 2010 zeigte er im Rahmen des internationalen Medien-Festivals Mutek die Außen-Installation ,Time Drifts‘ am Place des Arts im Zentrum von Montreal. Im Januar 2008 entwickelte Geist für die Piazzetta am Kulturforum in Berlin die Lichtinstallation 'Time Fades'. Im September 2007 bespielte er das zeitgenössische Kunstmuseum 'Palazzo delle Esposizioni' im Zentrum von Rom mit der Video-Mapping-Installation 'Time Lines'. Im Dezember 2005 realisierte er das Fassaden-Projekt 'Winterzauber' in Zürich. Im Februar 2006 eröffnete er im Kontext der Ausstellung 'Melancholie, Genie und Wahnsinn' den Salon Noir in der Neuen Nationalgalerie in Berlin. Gemeinsam mit dem Sinfonieorchester OBC Barcelona und der finnischen Soundformation Pan Sonic eröffnete Geist 2004 das Sonar Festival im Auditorium Barcelona. Geists Projekte sind in erster Linie gekennzeichnet durch ihre Komplexität in der Integration von Raum, Ton und Bewegbild.

Philipp Geist travaille internationalement en tant qu’artiste lumière et multimédia dans les techniques de la vidéo, de la performance, de la photographie et de la peinture. L‘artiste berlinois Philipp Geist (1976) a projeté une installation 4D sur la façade du palais royal de Bangkok à l’occasion du 82ème anniversaire du roi Bhumibol en décembre 2009. Le spectacle d’une heure fut la partie principale de l’événement et a été vu par environ 3 millions de spectateurs. En 2008, pendant « la longue nuit des musées », il a projeté sa vidéo « Time fades » au Kulturforum. Dans cette installation, Geist traite des thèmes du temps et de l’espace. Il évite d’utiliser des écrans et projette directement sur des parties de la façade de l’architecture ou des fonds transparents tels que des draps de gaze et de brouillard. En septembre 2007, il a réalisé l’installation vidéo « Times lines » sur l’ensemble de la façade du Palazzo delle Espozioni de Rome, lors de sa réouverture après une fermeture de 5 ans. L’installation a été lancée par le maire de Rome, Walter Veltroni, et a été vue par environ 20 000 visiteurs. En 2005, il a réalisé le projet «  Winterzauber » (Hiver magique) pour le « Lake Side Restaurant » à Zurich et en 2006, il a ouvert le salon noir dans le cadre de l’exposition « Melancholie, Genie und Wahnsinn » (Melancolie, Génie et Folie) à la nouvelle galerie nationale de Berlin. Accompagné de l’orchestre symphonique de Barcelone « OBC » et l’ensemble sonore finlandais « Pan sonic », Geist a fait l’ouverture du festival « sonar » en 2004. Ses travaux ont été montrés au festival «Dissonanze » de Rome, au « clubtransmediale » de Berlin, et au festival « Mutek » de Montréal, qui est renommé pour les nouveaux médias. Il a exposé ses performances vidéo live internationalement au « Central House of Artists » de Moscou, l’institut des arts contemporains de Londres, la galerie nationale de Varsovie (Zacheta) et à l’ouverture de « la Pinakotek der moderne » de Munich. Par ailleurs, ses projets sont caractérisés par leur complexité, la prise en compte et l’intégration du lieu de l’installation, le son et les images mobiles.
