Schmelzdahin
Jochen Lempert (b 1958), Jochen Müller (b 1959), Jürgen Reble (b 1956) –group founded in 1979; experimental film research in the field of photography, montage, material processing, and concern with the transience of things; about 20 art films produced within 10 years, marketed under the name «Schmelzdahin» (‹melt away›); group dissolved in 1989.
Film material is subjected to biochemical processes by burying it in the garden, storing it in a pond, or overheating it. The results of these natural processes of decay or aging are then copied back onto film and thus conserved in the state of their dissolution.
