Ich habe einen Brief an Koki Tanaka geschrieben, dessen Video „Everything is Everything“ Ausgangspunkt für das Video-Projekt im 13. Jahrgang war.
Dear Mr. Koki Tanaka, first let me introduce myself: My name is Wolfgang Rußek and I am a teacher of Fine Arts at a public school in Bremen, Germany. In some of my classes I perform digital photo- and video-projects with students aged between 12 and 18 years. I saw your video-clip „Everything is Everything“ on youtube and was inspired to start a video-project with students in two of my fine-arts classes. These young women and men (at the age of 17/18) were irritated at first by the seemingly trivial appearance – but I think they are motivated and full of ideas now. If you like you can see the first results on our homepage: http://www.kunstprofil-gso.de/ I wish to thank you for the inspiration and hope you will enjoy our versions of „everything“ – under the category „Papier und Plastik“. With kind regards, Wolfgang RußekFreundlicherweise hat Herr Tanaka gleich zurückgeschrieben:
Dear Wolfgang,
thanks for sharing your response to my project. it looks amazing to extend my idea into your practice.
all best, koki tanaka
Die Video-Projekte werden in zwei Wochen fertig – einige sind es schon, dann sind erst einmal Ferien. Mit Musikkollegen plane ich einen Kino-Musik-Abend mit Life-Musik und den Filmen auf grosser Leinwand – wahrscheinlich Ende Mai, wenn der Abistress etwas abgenommen hat.
