EVENTS PROGRAM - UNTER DEM MOTTO 2010
Friday 3 September
16 / 17 / 18 / 19 hrs
Åbäke: A Restricted View of Fox and His Friends, 2010
In a discussion about graphic design practices with critic Benjamin Thorel we deplored that graphic design sometimes seemed obsessed with frivolous preoccupations of style over content. We joked: “it’s like watching Fassbinder’s Fox and His Friends but just through the sequences happening in the printing/binding factory scenes”. A little later we thought exciting to actually recut the movie and were surprised to see that the story still held. Rainer, what a star.
16.30 / 17.30 / 18.30 hrs
Hanne Lippard:
Beige, 2010
This film is about a colour, and the impact it can have on its surroundings. It is about the paler shade of pale and its variety of monotony
Reflection, 2010
A reflection can not be made until some time has passed. In this reflection you can see yourself. This reflection requires that you take one step back. Two is one too much— there is only one of you. Throw a stone in the water, and it disappears. Throw a stone at the mirror, and it breaks
