Sascha Pohle
17.01 - 22.02.2015 ↙
__For Home Sequence, Pohle restages his personal film archive in an ambivalent setting, between the private and the public and between the home and a typical video rental shop.
__The model of the video rental shop is based on Pohle’s memory of the former Cult Videotheek in Amsterdam. As the old media no longer hold any market value, like the VHS and the DVD, they become phantomized and transformed into objects that live as ghosts in the shadow of our constant modernization of technology. And so, eventually the video rental shop became as obsolete as what it tried to sell. Yet there still seem to be invisible bonds and vague identifications lurking under the surface that is haunting the new.
__The exhibition began with a conversation about the artists’ private collection of films that mostly deal with stories about the doppelganger and its proliferating variations and narratives. A doppelganger is literally a duplicated body going its own way. It often appears as a dueling opponent in the form of a mirror reflection, an alter ego, a look-alike, a shadow, a clone or an avatar.
__In the exhibition Home Sequence Pohle’s doppelganger film archive is presented as an animated ‚sculptural leftover’, which was initially stored in the artist’s home, but then started to expand and merge with the interior, the furniture and the urban memories of the artist.

Pirated Copy
He Jianjun, 90 min, 2004
'Pirated Copy' presents a portrait of a film-obsessed China based on the ubiquitous illegal trade in pirated DVDs.
He Jianjun director of the so called Chinese "Sixth Gerneration“ uses a DV format to create a docu-like look at the lives of people cut off from the Chinese economic miracle who use film as their means of connecting to life, culture within a parallel economy. The film follows several characters, which are all involved in selling or buying pirated discs being caught in making money, expressing themselves as individuals or being under the influence of movies they have watched.
Fade to Black
Veron Zimmermann, 102 min, 1980
A shy, odd and lonely cinephile stalks a Marilyn Monroe look-alike and begins to impersonate classic horror film characters
to kill those who bullied and oppressed him.

Welt am Draht aka World on a Wire, Rainer Werner Fassbinder
1973, 212 min
I saw Welt am Draht in German TV when it was broadcast first, sometime 1973 or 74 i guess. I was nine or ten years old then, and it left a tremendous impression on me -- World On Wires is definitely one of my Myths of Childhood. The two or three parts were aired again two or three times, the last time i watched it must have been in the eighties. I recorded them, but, very unfortunately, somehow these tapes got lost in the eddies of reality…… Welt am Draht changed the way i perceive the world. It is its credibility, the haunting story, the atmosphere of Germany in the early seventies, the actors, everything. It was very up to date then, and i think it is very much so now. We used to watch a lot of SF on TV, and I remember several serials that were in atmosphere and outlook so close to RWF's Welt, it has almost all melted into a kind of emotion, some sort of dim remembrance of future.
