An experimental, short documentary. About fine arts, perception and context.
"The Flackl Experience" is an experimental documentary covering the exhibited artworks in and around the "Hotel Flackl", a hotel, restaurant and place of an unique exhibition, located in "Reichenau an der Rax" (Austria). The innkeeper, Alfred Flackl, collected up to 1000 paintings and sculptures. His ex-wife, Christl Flackl, takes care of the presentation of the diverse collection. Alfred’s former brother-in-law, Wolfgang Männer, is one of the exhibited artists. He gives the viewer a tour through the art-maze.

Background Info
"The Flackl Experience" is an experimental short documentary about exhibiting pictures, collecting, presenting and the people behind it. It is the first part of an ongoing series about fine arts in places where you would not expect them.
The film was created as part of my diploma thesis in the field of "Painting and Animated Film" at the University of Applied Arts Vienna.
Instead of painting pictures myself, I proceeded to capture images of exhibitions and art installations that fascinate me but — often — do not have a place in the filter bubble of art universities.
