On Fire – Vulnerable Footage

11 Apr, 2019 - 11 May, 2019
Presenting new and older film and video works, the exhibition «On Fire – Vulnerable Footage» investigates human vulnerability as a potential to represent, uncover, cope, interfere etc. Liveliness, disease and mortality are inscribed in the moving image. In this transformation, people, and their bodies are captured and archived. This creates the paradox of an illusion of eternity, which at the same time refers to the future absence of the filmed person. Film and video are flickering testimonies to melancholy, a contemporary memento mori.
