Jakob Kirchheim combines different art genres in 
very personal ways, genres that usually are not 
connected with each other. He creates films and 
paintings using linoleum prints. The seriality of 
printing initially made the artist experimenting 
with film. He has used a variety of animation 
methods without leading him to classic animation 
forms. The ways Jakob Kirchheim also includes 
words and maps then results in political 
meaningful references, and they partly remind of 
the styles of agitprop from the 1920's, but also 
from the 60's and 70's. However, the artists 
likes to see them as media references rather than 
just bold political statements. These references 
seem to say, «Agitprop? Isn't that pure poetry, 
anyways?» Already in 1987, Jakob Kirchheim 
conceived his first «Linolfilm», a stop motion 
film based on linoleum prints as a combination of 
words and images. Since then he further developed 
his film techniques using photographs, collage 
techniques and live footage, and he thus has 
produced over 20 experimental animation, poetry 
and documentary films.
The artist will be available for Q&A.
