This article is demonstrating, that Wilfried is on its way for incredible records. His jumps during the past months through time & space are most impressing – from one venue to another- from one continent to another – from one art genre to another – and, from one project to another. Yesterday on its way as a promissing netartist.Today, he is presenting one of his artistic curatorial compositions on two continents – jumping from Germany, the provincial town of Detmold, hosting Detmold International Shortfilm Festival , a renown shortfilm festival as a forum for presenting Wilfried’s curated selection from CologneOFF VII – Art & the City, to South America, to the beautiful place at the Pacific Ocean – Valparaiso (the valley of the paradise), in fact a kind of suburb of Chile’s capital, Santiago de Chile, where a festival of experimental film by name “Proceso de Error” – established two years ago, and Wilfried is participating in the 3rd festival edition, presenting a selection of experimental animations.

Curatorial statement
By Wilfried Agricola de Cologne
“Once Upon A Time” – many fairytales are beginning like that, and indeed the metaphoric character of the videos deal with time manifested in collective and individual memory.
As the representative of the “Present”, the artist is bridging the gap from the “Past” to the “Future” – experimenting with the processes of “new” media languages – intellectually, ideologically and emotionally from distance and deep affection alike, sometimes controversy, contradictory and critical, generating – the absurd! Like no other art medium, the time based medium of video is predestined to experience these processes on different levels of perception.
The curatorial concept would like to present “diversity” to the audience: the selection of 10 short art films, each one with a different duration and experimental approach, created by 10 individual artists from 10 different countries and cultural backgrounds, eg. Francesca Fini (Italy), Francois Knoetze (South Africa) Dee Hood (USA), Sergio Sotomayor (Spain), QNQ/Aujik (Sweden/Japan), Kristina Frank & Mervi Kekarainen (Sweden), Shuai Cheng Pu (Taiwan), Karolien Soete (Belgium), Mani Mehrvarz (Iran) and Max Hattler (Germany).
