When Existing Images Tell New Stories
How do new images emerge from those that already exist? In the Artist Talk with filmmaker and media artist Matthias Müller, sharing as an artistic practice takes center stage. On October 2, 2026, the Kunsthalle Bielefeld invites you to a focused discussion about Found Footage, collective authorship, and the montage of fragmented imagery.
Found Footage as a Creative Method
Matthias Müller works with found footage and examines how meaning changes through selection, context, and montage. New visual contexts arise from existing images: fragments detach from their original narratives and enter into an open dialogue. The exploration of the works makes visible how film and media art shape memory, perception, and cultural imagery.
A Conversation About Shared Perspectives
In conversation with curators Laura Rehme and Benedikt Fahrnschon, the question arises about how new perspectives and shared narratives emerge from shared material. The Artist Talk deepens a central motif of the exhibition Shared Views. Kunsthalle Bielefeld x Collection KiCo. Part I: Sharing and Being Shared.
The exhibition connects historical and contemporary positions. Painting, photography, sculpture, and media works enter into a curatorial relationship, wherein fragment, exchange, delineation, and community become newly interpretable. Müller's work Alpsee serves as an important starting point for the discussion on image citations and artistic transformation.
Aesthetic Experience and Cultural Education
The Artist Talk opens a direct access to the thought and working processes of a media artist. The exhibition atmosphere of the Kunsthalle becomes a resonance space for questions of authorship, ownership, and transmission. Visitors experience art not only as a finished piece but as an ongoing movement between material, perception, and interpretation.
Conclusion: Experience Art in Exchange
The Artist Talk with Matthias Müller connects film, media art, and art historical reflection into an impactful art experience. Those who want to understand how new meanings arise from existing images will find valuable insights and a deeper perspective on the exhibition in this conversation. An evening for all those who wish to experience aesthetic experience, contemporary art, and cultural exchange live.
