Poor Man’s Expression – Entrance To Exit
(Martin Ebner, Florian Zeyfang)
Saturday, 22. 6. 13, 10 p.m.
Open Air Screening / Courtyard
KW Institute for Contemporary Art
Berlin
George Brecht’s contribution ENTRANCE TO EXIT to the 1966 assembled short-film-compilation FLUXREEL by George Maciunas shows during the time of eight minutes first an empty, white image which is then getting darker. If the screen is completely black in the end, there is also no light cast on the movie screen. The visitorʼs gaze drifts, the eye begins to adapt to the darkness. The materiality of the screen becomes visible.
