Country: AustriaKollektiv 14 is a Vienna-based art collective working across photography, film, new media, and the performing arts. Founded by Magdalena Mayr, Martin Graf, and Max Hase, the collective blends academic research with experimental, interdisciplinary approaches. Their works, frequently shown at international festivals, explore themes such as identity, corporeality, masculinity, religion, and sexuality. Scientific theory is often interwoven with artistic practice in their projects. The collective’s experimental films challenge traditional narrative structures and investigate new artistic forms of expression. Kollektiv 14 has received awards including a “Special Jury Mention” in Vienna and the “Premio Capozzi Award” in Rome.

Sports Love [1969]
After CAR LOVE and FOOD LOVE, the Viennese artists' collective completes its trilogy with a final installment: SPORTS LOVE. With this third and final chapter, Kollektiv 14 once again challenges notions of masculinity, using the aesthetics of desire to explore its complexities. This time, the focus shifts to the gym, where sports equipment and athletic spaces become objects of longing—both physically and symbolically.
