The Feltus brothers (FeltusFeltus), together with Caroline Bleimel and Elizabeth Krause, create a "theatre of the absurd": a series of photographic images, strong in pictorial composition, which explore the inner and most personal side of what could be seen as an unsettling group of characters, born into the world of performance and at times forced into a niche of empty stereotype.
The artists themselves engage in surreal self-portraiture, embodying these characters, who range from early circus performers to fallen saints, in a style that evokes the films of Fellini and the paintings of Christian Schad.

"A stunning work of art from a talented new voice in video, photography and film... [...]

Tobias Feltus's "Conscious Life" is a near-perfect example of the symbiosis between picture and sound that is only possible within these two forms. They called The Jazz Singer a "talkie" in 1927 because human speech, or a lack thereof, was the real defining quality of the silent films that preceded it. Aereogramme's music contains words, but they aren't directly spoken by any of the characters in "Conscious Life." Rather they serve as our guide through the psychology and context behind the happenings on screen." -Imran at Obtusity
