Antje Ehmann, Harun Farocki, (ed.), Kino wie noch nie. Cinema like never before, Verlag der Buchhandlung Walter König, 2006

We want to bring film into the exhibition space, but not to turn the art space into a new cinema. We see it as a cutting room, a laboratory for cinema. The cutting room is the place where film is examined; there, each individual take is meticulously weighed and evaluated. A sequence of images must first be examined in terms of what it expresses anf what it can express in the context of other takes in order to determine where it will be placed in a montage. This work of critical assessment has always existed in cutting rooms, ever since the birth of film. (Antje Ehmann, Harun Farocki)
