Objects
Influenced early by the personal system of objects that German artist Joseph Beuys had formulated in his time, Marc Behrens has conceived very few objects (some of them could be called sculptures). They are always linked to intellectual concepts or media shifts.

VISUALISATION
with Horst Turner

(Kunstfabrik Arheilgen, Darmstadt, D)
Several objects were shown in this exhibition, including the FILM SHREDDER, a machine shredding exposed 35mm film, equipped with a fan to hurl the film fragments (elements of a décollage) towards the spectator. Thus the light projection is perceived haptically, and the spectator becomes an image carrier—exposed through the fragments hitting her/him.
An edition of 10 film cans filled with shredded 35 mm film was produced.
