〖ReaRflex後照鏡〗與〖歡迎光臨麟光社〗很高興邀請 Miri Ian Gossing 和 Felix Bartke前來分享他們的作品。本節目將帶領觀眾穿越德國、英國與美國之間那些的怪異地方與陰森建築——那些被未竟慾望所盤踞、成為過往夢想棲身的地方與表面。物件與表面甦醒過來，告訴我們它們的祕密；酷兒幽靈被喚醒，而記憶逐漸消散。本節目集結來自德國科隆的 Miri Ian Gossing 與 Felix Bartke 的合作與個人作品。
In this program we take you on a journey through uncanny places and eerie architectures in Germany, UK and USA. Places and surfaces that are haunted by unfulfilled desires and refuges for living a dream long gone.
Objects and surfaces come to life to tell us their secrets; queer ghosts are awakened and memories fade.
The program combines collaborative and solo works of Miri Ian Gossing & Felix Bartke from Cologne , Germany.

-Program-
•Chinalight, 2018 (4min)
Director: Miri Ian Gossing & Lina Sieckmann
本MV為藝術家雙人組 Gossing/Sieckmann、剪接與 VFX 藝術家 Nicole Wegner，以及來自北京的噪音音樂家 GUAN 之合作計畫。影片以 16mm 膠片拍攝於德國科隆動物園內一場重新演繹的中國傳統燈節。影像挪用並重組對中國文化的異國化視角，使其轉化為一場感官旅程。在模糊與位移中進入狂亂的感知狀態，呈現出一片被美學化卻又詭異的荒野，化為色彩與形狀的狂喜。動物幽靈、動畫生命體與人工植物隨著 GUAN 異界般的聲響低鳴。
The music video China Light is a cooperative project between artist duo Gossing/Sieckmann, editor and VFX artist Nicole Wegner, and the noise musician GUAN from Beijing, China. Filmed on 16mm film at a re-staging of a traditional Chinese Light festival in the Zoological Gardens of Cologne, Germany, the video takes images and surfaces of an exoticized view on chinese culture and merges them into a vivid trip. Blurring and shifting into a frenzy state of perception the film reveals an aestheticized and uncanny wilderness becoming an ecstasy of colors and shapes. Ghosts of animals, animated lifeforms and artificial plants arise and drone to the ambient and otherworldly sounds of GUAN.

•Desert Miracles, 2014 (12min)
Director: Miri Ian Gossing & Lina Sieckmann
本片是一場對「慾望的商業建築」的電影探索。透過 22 個場景段落，凝視內華達州婚禮教堂的室內空間，思考場景如何建構「愛」的文化組織形式。一名女性聲音朗讀著一封曖昧的情書，寫給一位未知的戀人。她在自我實現與自我優化之間失衡，困於親密關係的難題。
Desert Miracles is a cinematic exploration of a commercialized architecture of desire. Across 22 different tableaus the film meditates upon the interiors of Nevada’s wedding chapels, considering how the scenery opens up to constitute a cultural organisation of “Love”. A female voice is heard reading out an ambiguous letter to an unknown lover finding herself troubled by the challenges of relationships, unable to negotiate a balance between self-fulfilment and optimization.

•Shawano, 2025 (13min)
Director: Felix Bartke
一座位於德國無人地帶、藏身於高速公路灌木叢後的西部牧場。成為電影牛仔的夢想在此化為現實。在沉思與例行勞動之中，每一個動作都恰到好處——直到香菸的煙霧召喚出往昔的幽靈。
A Western-Ranch in german no man’s land, hidden behind bushes by the motorway. The dream of living life as a movie-cowboy becomes real. Contemplation and routine work, every stroke seems just right, until the cigarette smoke conjures up the ghosts of days gone by.

•Souvenir, 2019 (20min)
Director: Miri Ian Gossing & Lina Sieckmann
本片探索往返荷蘭、德國、挪威與英國之間 36 小時迷你郵輪的空蕩內部。作為豪華加勒比海郵輪的低成本複製版本，這艘船處於永恆的過渡狀態，從未抵達真正的終點。船上佈景與裝飾指涉歐洲航海與貿易歷史，但真正的海洋卻始終遙遠——只存在於監視器畫面、船上電影院與全景窗景之中。
Souvenir explores the deserted inside of contemporary 36-hour- minicruise ferry ships between the Netherlands, Germany, Norway and the UK. As a low-budget replica of luxurious Caribbean cruises, the ship is in a constant state of transit, never arriving at a final destination. On board settings and décor bear reference to a European history of seafaring and trade while the actual ocean remains distant – in surveillance monitors, the on-board cinema and panoramic window fronts.

•Blue Narcissus, 2021 (5min)
Director: Miri Ian Gossing, Felix Bartke, Julian Quentin
Super-8 Music video for DEUTZ.

•Trailer for SIRENS CALL (1min)
Director: Miri Ian Gossing & Lina Sieckmann
一位化身為人形的遊牧海妖，在破碎的大地上穿行，於生命書寫、身份與歸屬之間游移。作品以跨越類型的混合形式，結合科幻與紀錄元素，挑戰神話與後現代現實之間的張力。
A nomadic siren in human form journeys through a scattered Earth, navigating biography, identity and belonging while challenging the intricate tensions between mythology and postmodern reality in a genre-defying hybrid of science fiction and documentary.
