Meet the filmmaker behind the work
The exhibition Fußball: Football has been praised in the press, while the artwork Deep play, which uses manipulated footage of the football world cup in Germany in 2006, is currently showing on twelve large screens in Banksalen and inside the station building of Oslo S. This week visitors can meet the man behind these successful films.
Born in the former Czechoslovakia, Harun Farocki works with film. He is well known for his thought provoking treatments of film material. His films raise questions about visual objectivity.
These two lectures offer people a chance to become better acquainted with this interesting filmmaker.
