Bodies at work

Antje Ehmann will lead a conversation on the depiction of the human body at work in film and video art, a central question in her practice as an artist and curator. The starting point will be the project “Labour in a Single Shot”, she started together with Harun Farocki in 2011, and which is still growing. The project is an archive of numerous short films from all over the world about labour and the working body.  Some of those 2 minute long films will be shown in order to develop some thoughts about the man - machine relationship, and about the shift operated onto “the working body” within the last 2 pandemic years.
