Hartmops 1
filmlet/comedy
ca. 9min
2005, Berlin
Hartmops1 is shot in the lanes and tunnels of City of Names.
The background story equals a nested version of Hardknocks 4 and 5. You meet at home, decide to paint a train together, enter the yard, spraying und photographing the train in service the next day. Because of City of Names as a backdrop, the absurd illustration of events and the ridiculing similarity of the titles Hartmops1 appears rightly like a self-depreciating persiflage.
Directed by Roka Kahlo, Jürgen Schmiermann and Richard Schwarz.
Camera: Mark Straek, Irati Elorita, Christopher Noelle
Music: Messer Chubs
Hartmops 1 was screened on
HotDocs. in Toronto, Canada.
City of Names:
According to a concept by Zasd/Jazzstylecorner, within the timeframe of 3 weeks a group about more than 60 writer and streetartists from 9 different nations constructed the "City of Names" on Mariannenplatz in Berlin/Kreuzberg. A gaudy favela with a footprint less than 1000 m2 made out of wood, scrap, trash and paint, fully equipped with a pond, an
oratory, a watchtower, a subway with 2 stations, a museum, the bus number 126 with bus stop,a post office, city gates, streets, an
hotel, a dream tent, a wellnesscenter, electricity and und light, the "urban jürgen square" and an asian 24 hours security guard.
Open from 29.7. till 4.9.2005, City of Names got converted into a super children's playground. It was one of the main features of the streetart exhibition Backjumps - The Live Issue#2.
City of Names arose in collaboration with Backjumps - The Live Issue#2 and Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien.
