Playing the Game: large-scale video installations
Playing the Game. On view large-scale video installations such as the twelve-channel Workers Leaving the Factory in Eleven Decades (2006) or the six-channel Feasting or Flying (2008) and War Tropes (2011). Further important installations -On Construction of Griffith's Films (2006), I Thought I Was Seeing Convicts (2000), his most recent work Parallels (2012), as well as the two famous films The Expression of Hands (1997) and How to Live in the FRG (1990)- provide broad insight into his creative work and strike a retrospective arc from 1990 to the present on the theme of playing and the rules of the game. It becomes clear how Farocki -who is as well known worldwide for his work as a filmmaker as for his media art- inimitably and repeatedly plays with the categories of documentation, fiction, and staging reality. Curated by Claudia Giannetti. Opening: 11 April 2013, 19:00.
