Robert Seidel is a Berlin based artist, working in the field of experimental film, projection and video installation.
In his work Seidel is interested in pushing the boundaries of abstracted beauty through cinematographic approaches, as well as ones drawn from science. By the organic interplay of various structural, spatial and temporal concepts, he creates a continuously evolving complexity. Out of this multifaceted perspective emerges a narrative skeleton through which viewers connect to the artwork via the projection of their own personal memories.

"The organic projection sculpture frees the film from the dogmatic limitations of rectangular screens and monitors. These delicate, laser-cut tissues float in the architectural space, light spills over them, and they come to life before the viewers’ eyes. Mirrors reflect the projected film image back onto viewers and allow them to become part of the work in the form of their own reflected image. In the multiple layers of the work, observers’ personal memories, their own reflection, that of the museum environment, the installation and the daylight become bound together into a situational work of art."
I am really interested at how Robert Seidel projects onto paper, and the way in which the dark environments help the projections catch onto the paper to produce some beautiful images. I would have really like to have done some detailed lazer cutting onto paper and hung it to then project on like he has within his work but unfortunately wont be able to do this now the lazer cutting is fully booked up. would definitely be too time consuming to do by hand as I wouldn't bee 100% certain that it would be a success.I will begin to experiment with projecting on to paper sculptures though, as I think this would be a great idea to combine within a final piece.
