Synopsis FELLINI FELLING:

FELLINI FELLING is a 6-minute film produced in Denmark by the SUPERCOLLAGE collective, based on Sergei Sviatchenko’s artist book collage series of the same name, which was inspired by Fellini’s famous film, 8 1/2.

Liberating itself from traditional frameworks, blending inner movement with performative acts, it presents viewers with an uninhibited mirror into the depths of a dancing reality.

FELLINI FELLING' forges its own vibrant version of moving images, daring to invent a language that draws inspiration from Tarkovsky and Fellini classics, but has it’s own loving face.

"It's this unreachable feeling of an expressive art form, which opens up to everyone who becomes amazed of the transparency of feelings through the own age periods. The touch of time make us vulnerable by mixing the moments connected to different events in our life. Like a puzzle covered by glass, who's reflection changes and that leaves us with "a felling" of a phantasmagorical world.“ - Sergei Sviatchenko

SERGEI SVIATCHENKO

Sviatchenko (b. 1952) is one of todays most influential collage artists. His oeuvre cuts through the boundaries of traditional and contemporary visuals, merging pop culture with politics, history, science and architecture.

Growing up in the Ukraine in 1960s, SVIATCHENKO witnessed first-hand the revolutionary shifts in global society and contemporary culture. From Khrushchev's tomb to Gorbachev's new openness and the fall of the Wall, and the revolutionary extension of the West, bringing with it a new flourish of pop culture and artistic expression. In SVIATCHENKO's work we see the reflections of decades of artistic exploration. From the World War I, Dadaism, Surrealism, Soviet Avant-Garde, Constructivism and the 1960s American Expressionists and Pop music, and the films of director Andrei Tarkovsky.

A provocateur in the world of contemporary art, SVIATCHENKO's collages and paintings have been exhibited in Denmark, Ukraine, Germany, Italy, France, England, Canada, and the USA and featured in celebrated magazines such as Dazed & Confused, AnOther, Kilimanjaro, Varoom, Elephant, This is a magazine, Rojo, Viewpoint and Blueprint.

He is also the founder and editor of online photography proiect "Close Up and Private" which looks to capture the discourse between clothing, fashion and image. SVIATCHENKO has completed maior commissions for companies in Denmark such as Jyske Bank, Silkeborg, Aalborg University in Copenhagen, Poul Due Jensen Academy, Grundfos, and Magasin du Nord, Copenhagen.

His work has been published in monographs including Sergei Sviatchenko: Collages by Rick Poynor (Schlebrügge, Vienna, 2014), Everything Goes Right and Left if You Want it. Art by Sergei Sviatchenko (Gestalten, Berlin, 2012), and Sergei Sviatchenko: I AM COLLAGE, (Lindhardt & Ringhof, Denmark
