KUB-Billboards
Seestraße Bregenz



For the KUB Billboards Harun Farocki selected a series of images and stills collected while researching his films as well as a number of production shots from the same projects. The artist writes the following about his approach: “Film work is generally represented by images of the film crew at work. But all forms of organizing images are also part of the craft of filmmaking and are as difficult to express as other organizational tasks. We work mainly with found images. For the pieces on warfare technology, Eye/Machine I–III, we searched various archives for years – public ones like the Washington Film Archive as well as different arms industry archives. And even when we traveled to the USA and shot footage inside military facilities, as was the case with Serious Games I–IV, at least half of our work consisted of copying images rather than producing new ones. Since our work mainly entails putting selected images into a given context, we chose multiple images for most of the billboards.”
