tauberbach – sensing Bach
The titel Tauberbach of one of the latest pieces of Les Ballets C de la B and Alain Platel, if translatable at all might be read as deafbach, which includes this misspelling of putting two words (deaf +Bach) together, which usually are not written that way. Tauberbach refers to the work of the polish artist […] Read More
Attenberg – or how to watch your own species
Attenberg is a special film and as the director, Athina Rachel Tsangari, says, it does and further might divide the audience. Nevertheless I insist that it is a great film, so worth watching – and not only for finding out, what the intention is behind this spread out poster image of the may be strangest […] Read More
The Hunger Games – let’s call them Hunter Games
It’s a quite striking experience to see specificly that film at the Sony Center in Berlin, where I went to attend an original language version.

By accident I am just discovering Chris Kraus, film-maker, writer and co-editor of Semiotext(e) as I came across the announcement for Performative Philosophy: The films and writings of Chris Kraus and Semiotext(e) at Monash University Museum of Art.

women without men
A strange trailer was the best I could find to bring over a feeling for a film hard to be described.
