SEMINAR: Thoughts on Lene Bergs Kopfkino

Sabeth Buchmann on Lene Berg Counted Stories
Thoughts on Lene Bergs Kopfkino. October 12 at 15.00 pm at Fritt Ord,Uranienborgveien 2
In conjunction with Lene Bergs new exhibition opening at Henie Onstad Kunstsenter October 11, Sabeth Buchmann will lecture on Bergs recent film Kopfkino(2012). Kopfkino was filmed over the course of two days in Berlin with a set of exceptional characters. We find ourselves at the periphery of our culture amidst so-called unworthy objects: eight women who earn their living by fulfilling the sexual fantasies of their clients. According to Buchmann, the title of Bergs new film provokes a discussion on the status of cinema within visual arts. Historically serving as a possibility to integrate certain modes of narration and documentation, mise-en-scène and role playing, imagery and montage etc. into the realm of avant-garde practices, film meanwhile represents a distinct genre and branch within the art and exhibition market. Considering the way Kopfkino reflects on the work of dominatrixes and submissives as a structural mode of cinematic fiction, the lecture will focus on Bergs strategy to relate her narrative documentation to conceptual forms of image production.
