Everybody Else : Patrick Runte



Hamburg based photography student Patrick Runte sent me a note a few months back. He was looking to work as an intern over the summer for TA. One look at his work I could tell it would never work out...he was already a genius!

This is his series titled "Jump and Run". His note provided this as explanation:

The work is inspired by OSKAR SCHLEMMER and his idea of the "Triadic Ballett" and the Term "Streetplay". I wanted to compile old Videogames, which are based on simple geometric forms and make them able to be experienced/felt by the human body. Do you know what i mean? Videogames can not be experienced... they only make you feel like you are doing stuff. In my work the games transform to real "Jump `N` Run".
