OpenIdea_101 Post-digital image politics - Repositioning memory and identity in film
What can you expect?
The lecture gives an insight into Claudia Larcher's filmic practice. Based on her own works - from experimental short films to installative film projects - she will show how analog materials, family archives, nature and architecture shots are intertwined with digital editing and AI-supported processes. The focus is on the question of how memories, body images and spaces change when they are reassembled, alienated or speculatively rewritten through post-digital image processes. Using selected examples, artistic strategies of appropriation, superimposition and reconstruction will be made visible and we will discuss how films today can negotiate identity, reframe history and imagine alternative futures.
Claudia Larcher is a visual artist, filmmaker and researcher in the field of time-based media. In her video works, animations and installations, she explores relationships between architecture, memory, bodies and digital image spaces as well as the role of post-digital images for collective notions of past and future. Her works have been shown at the Centre Pompidou (Paris), Ars Electronica (Linz), HOW Art Museum (Shanghai), Manifesta 13 (Marseille) and Anthology Film Archives (New York), among others. Larcher lives and works in Vienna.
This event takes place in cooperation with the ALPINALE Short Film Festival.
