The joint program represents the first complete exhibition of a work that embraces artistic photography and auteur cinema consisting of fictional films and documentaries.
Reinhard Braun, artistic director of Camera Austria, recognizes a cooperative quality in both: “Despite their careful precision and the accuracy of assembly – or for this very reason – it could be about analyzing images - both cinematographic and photographic – and make them land’ of a common interest, a common project, a common resistance and a strangeness lived together, that is, a cooperative narrative that is not always based on a clear authorship and that in this way distributes the power that emanates from the representation in a different way”.
The program will be screened from 6 al 10 April 2022 within the 25th Diagonal of Graz and enriched by in-depth meetings (diagonal in dialogue) with film journalist Bert Rebhandl.
