Benjamin Heisenberg & Alexander KlugeVideo dialogue10’45”Online Special
During the months prior to Benjamin Heisenberg’s current exhibition “Americana”, currently on view at Ebensperger Berlin, the two filmmakers noticed common threads in their most recent artistic productions. Having worked with similar motifs and from related source materials, Kluge and Heisenberg moulded their Amer•i•ca•na* clips into a six-episode video piece.
*Materials concerning or characteristic of America, its civilisation, or its culture.Broadly: things typical of America.Specifically: an exhibition by Benjamin Heisenberg using pictures, moving images and sounds to portray a Western state of mind between psychosis and reason, between videocracy, make-belief and truth, between reactionism and progressivism.
