The Astronaut 37 seconds looped stop-motion animation. 2013
The Astronaut was created for the eponymous solo exhibition at Gallery Freymond-Guth in Zurich.
In this exhibition, the piece was presented as a digital animation that had been transferred to 18mm film and looped continuously.
Sea 61 seconds looped stop-motion animation. 2019
This looped animation was created for the exhibition Mal Ȇtre / Performance, which was shown in the Drawing Room London and the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill.
The exhibition focuses on the theme of the sea and people on boats throughout history, exploring the plight of the individual and their portrayal. Marc used a range iconic images, spanning from ancient Greece to contemporary media. Examples include imagery of an Attican vase (circa 480-470BC) in the British Museum, depicting the ship of Odysseus passing the Sirens; 15th-century Catholic ex-voto paintings that were used to help ward off sea faring disasters; Théodore Géricault's famous The Raft of the Medusa (1818–19); and finally images from the media coverage of Aquarius, the boat that rescued migrants in the Mediterranean Sea in 2018.
The Architect 28 minutes stop-motion short film. 2013
This is the story of a boy who, seeing the film Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens in 1920s Berlin, has a vision of his future. The film Nosferatu, directed by F.W. Murnau, premiered in 1922. Many view the film as a harbinger of the rise of National Socialism in Germany.
The film takes the viewer on a journey through uncanny visions, hypnotising with its staccato pace.
The Architect is the result of a collaboration between Marc Bauer and the French rock band Kafka. The objective of the project was to create a film that can be seen as both an independent video work and a Kafka cine-concert. It was made using hundreds of Plexiglas plates painted with black oil paint, includes a final sequence done in digital colour animation.
