FAUX IMAGES is a regular meeting, which provides a platform for showing and exchanging work and networking for the Berlin animation and motion design scene. Besides the opportunity for artists to present themselves and their work, central to “Faux Images” is the idea of community and mutual inspiration. At each meeting, local and international filmmakers, designers and artists from related disciplines are invited to present their work through lectures and screening.

“Faux Images” is organised by Andreas Fischer & Mate Steinforth in cooperation with the Lab for Electronic Arts and Performance (LEAP) and WeAreChopChop. ”Faux Images” will take place quarterly in LEAP at Alexanderplatz in Berlin.

Admission is free.

„Faux Images“ ist ein regelmäßiges Treffen, das der Berliner Animations- und Motion-Design-Szene eine neue Plattform für innovative Arbeitsbeispiele und Networking bietet. Neben der Möglichkeit für Künstler, sich der Community zu präsentieren, tritt bei „Faux Images“ vor allem die gegenseitige Inspiration in den Vordergrund.

Zu jedem Treffen werden lokale und internationale Filmemacher, Designer und Künstler aus artverwandten Disziplinen eingeladen, die ihre Arbeiten sowohl durch Vorträge, als auch in Screenings vorstellen.

„Faux Images“ wird von Andreas Fischer & Mate Steinforth in Kooperation mit dem Lab for Electronic Arts and Performance (LEAP) und WeAreChopChop organisiert. „Faux Images“ findet vierteljährlich im LEAP am Alexanderplatz in Berlin Mitte statt. Der Eintritt ist frei.

The quarterly Berlin based animation and motiongraphics meeting Faux Images at the Gallery LEAP, Karl-Liebknechtstrasse 13. Organized by Mate Steinforth and the WeAreChopChop collective in cooperation with the LEAP gallery. Entry is free.
