Marcellvs L.’s videos focus the lens on small, often unobserved, events, and his works seem to slow down time. A rope suspended in water that slowly moves with the swell, leaves blown by the wind, or a man walking down a street, are all captured with a prolonged gaze that foregrounds details usually gone unseen.
Marcellvs L.’s work is an extension of temporality itself, shifting our attention away from narrative to the experience of a palpable staging of time. In spree (2007), a building seems still – yet, after a moment of viewing, it appears to be slightly moving. The title of the artwork reveals that the gentle bobbing movement of the recorded image is caused by the fact that it was filmed from a houseboat on the River Spree, never pictured. It is a vertiginous dialogue between two architectural forms – the houseboat and the house on the river.
