Vlog: What is Merzmensch?



Short English summary:

Merz is an art movement, invented by German artist Kurt Schwitters. Merz means combination of all possible genres, materials and media into a Gesamtkunstwerk, into a globality. Globality is also credo of mine.

I was very influenced by Kurt Schwitters, but perhaps is my pseudonym also related with the German stem "merz", which is etymologically the same family of English verb "to merge".

So for you, I'm Mergeman.



Music used in this clip: Yoko Kanno, Tepee

Good Morning

Welcome to my video stream. Here you will see videos I made for various projects. If the special name isn't mentioned, everything (music, text, staging) is by me, Merzmensch.

The themes are parted in two clusters: ART and ARG.
I don't pretend to make art - who can pretend to make art nowadays? Who cannot pretend it?

Here I will present all my video productioned bundled in one stream.
Of course, you can find me also on video plattforms:
