Exhibition Thaddaeus Ropac

Thaddaeus Ropac presents an exhibition of works by filmmaker Harun Farocki, focusing on his theoretical development of 'operational images' and the function of film beyond entertainment. The presentation examines Farocki’s career-long investigation into images that perform technical or industrial work, including photogrammetry and motion studies. The exhibition contextualizes Farocki’s 1970s Marxist Lehrfilm projects alongside his later critiques of capitalist visuality and media studies.
