[scene missing]
Galerie Thomas Schulte, Berlin
The exhibition presents eleven positions that engage with cinema and film. Without showing film in the usual sense or simulating cinematic situations, the works exhibited all interrogate methods of narrative construction and point out the fragmentary character of reality and its filmic representation. Curated by Fiona Liewehr.

The exhibition [scene missing] was curated by Fiona Liewehr and is presented in collaboratino with Georg Kargl Fine Arts in Vienna. The exhibition [scene missing] presents eleven positions that engage with cinema and film. Without showing film in the usual sense or simulating cinematic situations, the works exhibited all interrogate methods of narrative construction and point out the fragmentary character of reality and its filmic representation. The absence of cinema and film in the exhibition [scene missing] is a product of our collective memory of film.
The visitor to the exhibition completes the "scene missing" by recalling his or her own memories of cinema and film history. In the area of tension between black box and white cube, cinema becomes the material for the works exhibited. In contrast to avant-garde film and expanded cinema, the motivation behind this artistic practice is not breaking with standard conventions but rather the appropriation of such conventions. The conventions of filmic representation provide a starting point. Narrative structures, an interest in the mechanics of the projection apparatus, cinematographic traditions, and film reception are all subjected to deconstruction and recoding. Film history becomes a raw material.
