MaleRei – PaintIngs
The canvas is a place of freedom for me. I paint because I
love colors and incredibly like to play, invent and create.
Unimagined possibilities open up while playing
again and again. One surprise follows the next, many
ways would be worth it to be pursued further.
Like a seed in the form of an idea, a memory, or a flash of inspiration, it appears, opens a space in me and grows on the canvas, gaining more and more shape and
radiation until it finally blossoms as a finished picture on the canvas.
Without Sun
under the theme of putting everyday situations in a different context, 4 short videos were created.
It’s a totally rainy summer 2008, that made me quite angry. And I was tired of not being able to lie down in the sun to enjoy the light summer feeling.
Shortly decided I thought, ok, even if there is no sunshine, I will still experience the summer feeling. And let me tell you, it was cold….but I had
a lot of fun!
Everything green
under the theme of putting everyday situations in a different context, 4 short videos were created. In this video I put 2 everyday situations on top of each other at the same time. This became “all green”. To be sprayed all over green was unique. Thank you dear
Elisabeth!

Color wash up
colored washing up under the theme of everyday situations in a different context, 4 short videos were created. Farbiger Abwasch in this video I wanted to put the everyday situation of washing dishes in a new context. Thank you dear Manu!

What defines me
Water 13
Water 13 is from the video installation “Water”. There I experimented with the wonderful element of water. The possibilities to set the water in motion in different ways has inspired me.
I am enthusiastic about water in many ways. “Constant dripping
wears away the stone”. Perseverance can lead to the goal. The single drop a whole lake. And our body consists of
50-80% of water, this transparent wet magic potion!
Tokyo video
under the theme of putting everyday situations in a different context, I changed a video that I shot in Tokyo, Japan.
The eternally flowing traffic gets a completely different meaning with this coat of paint. Reality gives way to…
Color balls gold
I experimented and played around with simple materials, then recorded them on video and then processed them further in the computer with various programs, thus transforming the material and giving it a new meaning. Nothing is left of the original material, but the movement is still visible

"If you want to make the main color pure and bright, don't just keep adding bright colors. Make the colors around the stain darker and duller. That gives the scene a dramatic effect. I think life is the same."
