Julius Von Bismarck: Projections, Punishment and Pigeons

Julius Von Bismarck is somewhere between an artist and an inventor. Known internationally for creating the Fulgurator: a high intensity light emitter that projects images for a split second onto a distant target (exactly what you need when Obama and the Pope are in town). The outcome leaves many unwitting photographers, both professional and amateur a little confused!

Julius is a uniquely talented visual communicator and has a sense of humour to match: in this deadpan, yet highly amusing talk, he shares some of his most recent project: Punishment: where he whips nature for several hours, Punishment 2: more of the same, but this time with man-made structures and finally his most recent art project with Julian Charriere 'Pigeon Safari' where he paints pigeons using a unique (and bird friendly) contraption, photographs them and sets them free again amongst their grey companions.
