Close your eyes and imagine: WORK – a Brainstorm with Harun Farocki

| #6 Can We Start Glitching?
(BALi, KulturBahnhof Kassel)

The video work CLOSE YOUR EYES AND IMAGINE: WORK – A BRAINSTORM WITH HARUN FAROCKI was created in a film workshop with young people in a refugee accommodation in Berlin-Marienfelde, initiated by the group rampe:aktion.
Harun Farocki’s “Workers Leaving the Factory” became the starting point for a playful exploration of the theme of work. Here, Harun Farocki’s cinematic essay enters a poetic dialogue with other voices in search of meaning and meaninglessness in the world of work. By playing with images, words and writing, a remix develops with footage from the Marienfeld neighborhood.
