Everyday Madness: We Accompany The Protagonists Of 7 Days, A Series Of Films By M+M, For An Entire Week. The Artist Duo’S Two-Channel Installations, Named For The Days Of The Week, Lead Directly Into The Abysses Of A Volatile Psyche. The Austrian Actor Christoph Luser Embodies The Ambivalent Main Character—Who Comes Across As Partly Melancholy, Partly Threatening—Who Is Subjected To Highly Conflicting Situations. Each Day, He Borrows From A Key Scene From Cinematic History, For Instance From The Shining Or Saturday Night Fever.

M+M —Marc Weis And Martin De Mattia—Are Known For Accessible, Self-Staged, And Highly Intense Film Installations That Expand The Narrative Potential Of Art As Well As Cinema And At The Same Time Completely Dissolve The Narrative’S Linearity. In Doing So, M+M Question Concepts Of Identity Against The Background Of A Radically Altered Perception Of Time. Their New, Large-Scale Cycle 7 Days Developed Over A Period Of Seven Years And Will Be Presented For The First Time In Its Entirety In The Exhibition Tour Of The Same Name In 2015.

Exhibitions: Casino Luxembourg—Forum D’Art Contemporain 24.1.–3.5.2015 | Taxispalais—Galerie Des Landes Tirol 3.10.–29.11.2015
