Heiner Franzen has been collecting non-verbal video material from ANCHORS, presenters of international news programmes, for over ten years. In these video loops, Franzen focuses on the moment when someone is silent in the broadcast - be it because of a malfunction or because he or she is allowing guests to discuss. He further developed the extensive source material into video loops and re-enacted some of them with presenters. Franzen is interested in what happens to the presence in an electronic medium. EBENSPERGER is showing the most comprehensive presentation of ANCHORS to date at the Gallery Weekend.
