All the things that you see here on stage was actually a stage by a colleague of mine. A very fine film maker and set designer. And it looks just like a Hollywood style movie set. With the landscape as a beautiful backdrop, which is exploited for the scene. Commercials work that way. Postcards look like that. But I wanted an ecstatic detail of that landscape. And the whole piece is about somethings ecstatic, something wild. Something like in our wildest nightmares. It has something that is beyond our average experience.

„Sevastopol in August“

Videoinstallation by Tobias Rosenberger
Sound: Wolfram Sander

The sun was shining high and brilliant above the bay, which glittered warmly and cheerfully, studded with motionless ships and moving sailboats and skiffs. A light breeze was barely rustling the withered leaves of the scrub oaks near the Telegraph, filling the sails of the small boats and raising a gentle swell.
Leo Tolstoy, The Sevastopol Sketches

"Sevastopol in August" is a multi-channel videoinstallation, that depicts the port of Sevastopol, located on the Black sea coast of the Crimea peninsula.

The city, formerly the home of the Soviet Black Sea Fleet, is now home to a Ukrainian naval base and facilities leased by the Russian Navy and used as the headquarters of both the Ukrainian Naval Forces and Russia's Black Sea Fleet. In 1993, the city was a major territorial dispute between the Russian Federation and Ukraine. Even after signing a friendship treaty, the debate over the status of the city still continues almost 20 years later. (Source: Wikipedia)

All images are captured with pre-programmed computer-controlled moving cameras and extra-developed software in August 2010.

Abstract:

The Ability to listen

A Mashup-Based Strategy lays the foundation for a sucessful defence

Within the past centuries there have been very significant developments in the approach to
security. While this is a matter that was attended for in the past, recently it has been
recognized that much more needs to be done. This is why we at „The Grand Defender“
take on a wholistic approach, instead of adopting a single angle. Complex problems have
many different causes. To meet the 21st century challenges, we need a new use of old
methods and tools, the use of what we call the unique 21st century defencecraft. Therefore
we introduced in 2009 new internal policy guidelines, that provide our operational team of
military experts with a coherent framework, in which it can identify and determine
appropriate regulatory responses to the challenges of a globalized world.
What does that mean?
Instead of having everything depend on our own initiative, we recognize that environment,
situation, context, history, competitors and enemies theirselves carry a certain potential
that we should identify and then let ourselves be carried along with it. So when we say that
something possesses a potential, we mean that by its very nature it is destined for some
kind of development on which we can rely.
Embarking on this notion of „There's no point in reinventing the wheel, but its full
penetrating power can only be actualized in new contextes and combinations“, we
developed a mashup-based strategy that lays the foundation for a sucessfull defence.
What we call to have a „Mashup-minded-disposition“ means, that we are working in a
fashion where multiple avenues are organized to refine the apparent one at hand. This necessarily
includes a true understanding of flexibility in relation to our sourroundings and can be best
circumscribed with the ability to listen to what is already there.
As a result, The Grand Defender is working on the border line between accounting, legislation,
initial preparations and emergency campaigns. We are specialists for innovative, surprising and
efficient solutions, and we distinguish ourselves by an unlimited willingness to pull together ideas
from a wide range of disciplines and influences into a cohesive form that creates something new
and different from the sources that led to its creation.

Why does 1+1=2? Because we were told to accept it. What if we reconsider the agreements we made once. Does everything disappear when we close our eyes? How does a 'two' taste like? Or coming back to the very fundamental things, let's take for example an apple, one apple....

"...my mother once yelled at me: one plus one is two, just accept it!"
