16 Fenster des Radialsystem V werden mit Bildzitaten aus Hitchcocks Rear Window (1954), mit Licht und roter Folie bespielt. Das Bildmaterial konzentriert sich auf die Szenen bei Nacht und verdichtet die Momente des Beobachtens, des Beobachtetwerdens und analysiert zugleich die Kamera als weiteren Voyeur.
Die Narration des zeitgebundenen Bildes wird durch den eigenen Rhythmus des Zuschauenden neu zusammengesetzt. Der Besucher, der das Haus umgehen kann, wird Betrachtender und Betrachteter zugleich.
Das Fenster als Schnittstelle zwischen privat und öffentlich, als Projektionsfläche, formal und persönlich. Der formale Aspekt der Projektion, hier der Rückprojektion, wird im Filmbild selbst durch das Verweben mit S8 und 16 mm Found Footage sichtbar und führt zu Fragen nach Wirklichkeit, Projektion und deren Verhältnis zueinander.

Concentrating on nocturnal settings, artist Meggie Schneider is presenting an installation focusing light, red colour and visualized quotations from Hitchcocks “Rear Window” (1954) in 16 different windows in and around the RADIALSYSTEM V.
Her installation questions the relation between reality and projection: Following the idea of the camera as a “voyeur”, the visitor – walking around the house, watching the window scenes – observes and is being observed at the same time. The windows are being turned into a transparent interface, separating and connecting the private from the public sphere - formal and textual, glances both ways, the eye the most eager organ of perception, and still not good enough to see it all.

After the Light: Moving Image displayed at Night
curated by Paz Aburto Guevara
When film appeared as a new art form in 1895 and before cinemas were being built, the first screenings in Berlin where shown at night in bars or public open spaces. After the Light: Moving Image displayed at Night returns the moving image to an open and social nocturnal setting at RADIALSYSTEM.V.. International artists, all based in Berlin and working with moving image, are premiering their film and video installations for the first time in Berlin. As soon as the natural light of the day disappears, the artistic light becomes alive, welcomed by the natural curtains of the night.
