Sebastian Bieniek (born 1975) is a German director, artist, playwright and writer, born in Czarnowasy (Poland) and then moved to Germany, where he still lives and works today.
I have always been intrigued & fascinated by the work of Sebastian Bieniek, intrigued by his curiosity in which I read and see my curiosity, restlessness, inability to remain with the same thought and always in continuous search, cloning, of other and distant mixtures and admixtures that smell of color and they dirty each other with different and similar means and ways and create changing and elusive identities, in a continuous change, evolution, return to one's own self which is the self made of deafening noise and introverted and autistically linear silence. Involution which is revolution of imagining oneself multiform and deformed.
Sebastian Bieniek's play with the images is to overturn the temporal dimension in a kaleidoscopic void in which each image renews and reinvents itself by tele-transporting itself into new and sparkling and desolate lives made of dust and stars of lights and red dots and very black. Infinite repetition and infinitely different and always the same in the thousand smiling and different feelings.
Almost as if it were a mortal embrace to be reborn as an animal and a dream, a bolt and a cell phone. In infinite streams, whispers, sounds near and far away.
It is the experience that is a jolt, an urgent and finely philosophical necessity, a feeling that hides and reveals itself in timid flashes and hides immediately after revealing its horrid and wonderful colorless gaze.
