Bunt (Colorful)

Country: AUSTRIA Year: 1991 Duration: 4 mins.

Synopsis: Renoldner made this film the year his first daughter, Laura, was born, with the idea of abstract images in the mind of a growing child. 500 watercolors were created from 20 basic images and transitions between them, which were shot with masked multiple exposure on 16mm film. This strictly rhythmic arrangement of the film sequences formed the basis of a minimalist music composition, in which four tones at different heights were recorded with a bass recorder, and then were applied to the film.

Rhythmus 94 (Rhythm 94)

Country: AUSTRIA Year: 1994 Duration: 4 mins.

Synopsis: This film is a piece of music. The sounds, their pitches, their relationships to one another and especially the (poly)rhythmic structures can be read as a score for the organization of images and vice versa. The film title refers to early visual music (Hans Richter: Rhythm 21) and develops from realism (starting with a homage to E. Muybridge) to digital abstraction. The very complex multiple exposure on 35mm film (ultimately 64 layers) was created by animation camera specialist Manfred Haspel.

Struktur Auflösung

Country: AUSTRIA Year: 1989 Duration: 4 mins.

Synopsis: Two main interests of Renoldner’s audiovisual art work manifest themselves in "Structure Resolution". On the one hand, this film expresses his strong interest in music and a way of working in which image and sound match each other exactly. On the other hand, this shows his great interest in dealing with elementary opposites, in this case geometric rigor and painterly gesture. Renoldner is also the filmmaker and music composer for this film, in which he used music software for the first time.

First and Foremost

Country: AUSTRIA Year: 2009 Duration: 6 mins.

Synopsis: Over 3000 glass pieces show clouds moving in time-lapse. However, the clouds’ shapes appear as shifting country borders. The audio is a collection of sentences taken from Austrian television in September 2015, when thousands of refugees arrived in Austria and Central Europe. The sound collage highlights the Austrian government’s helplessness and Europe’s disunity. Politicians avoid taking a firm stand and television presenters are talking in set phrases, and platitudes.

Martin ANIBAS: Pique Nique

Country: AUSTRIA Year: 2001 Duration: 5 mins.

Synopsis: Regarding ‘Pique Nique’ (2001) by Martin Anibas, some believe that the hand-painted film captures aspects of the experimental 1970es films from the West Coast of the USA. His expressive paintings are subject to permanent metamorphosis and appear like a mixture of naturalistic landscape and abstraction. Thomas Renoldner follows the permanent, flowing transition of images in his musical composition, which is made up of several layers of rhythmic tracks.

These fractals were created for 3 screens to morph, continue, and interact across neighbouring screens from different views. It’s like a macroscopic or microscopic view of a varied system, using materials like water or stylized patterns. The images were made to interact with each other, the viewers and the surroundings, remaining silent to blend with the sounds and atmosphere of the screening space.
