ANDREA SPLISGAR
Andrea Splisgars artistic training led it on completion of the
art study from Berlin to London and finally to Rome, where she finished
a play training to fulfil the circle of an artistic experience. She worked
for independent theatre and dance theatre groups and different film-productions,
so as Federico Fellini's Ginger and Fred.
Next to the
activity as an actress, the emphasis of her work focused also on the conception
of setting, multimedia installations, costumes (among these an international
award winning collection of fiction-couture sponsored by Camera Nationale
della Moda in Rome) and photography. She collaborated among others
with musical director Jonathan Moore (U2), art director & choreographer
Eugenio Poliakoff at the Florence and Paris opera house, film director
Giuseppe Tornatore (Cinema Paradiso), as well as productions for
Valentino Couture and the Deutsche Bank.
In
2003 she created a seasonal changing environment within the new Milan
SPA of Gianfrancoferré.
From 1991
till 1997 she carried along with artist Luigi Simeoli a creative
Factory called 'Il Palazzo' on the hills around Florence, a place where
artists from all over the world joined each other for a certain period,
collaborating on multimedia projects.
Since time
Splisgar co-operates creatively with Italian experimental director Fabio
Bianchini, their latest production 'Les chants de Maldoror'
has been shown on different international festivals.
In addition,
Splisgar produces her own video & solo performances. The tales, figures
and creatures developed by her are embossed from the traditions of fantastic
film and surrealistic literature. The intense quarrel with the different
states of physical and psychological identities and metamorphoses transmits
Splisgar into visionary dream pictures that move her characters into material
and psychological states of emergency. In this case, the interlocking
from sound and picture plays an exceptional role.
Since in 2000
Andrea Splisgar lives and works mainly in Berlin and Montenero.
In 2005 she
created the label DER MONDÄNE TIGER, under which pseudonym
she develops various art projects and cooperation's. First creation is
a new form of musical storytelling in collaboration with Berlin musician
Lord Litter, based on André Breton's novel 'Anthology
of black humour', launched on CD in the beginning of 2006.
Under
the theme 'A laughter in the dark' she's developing actually short
films, performances and photography's.
