Photographic Recourses in Literature and Film
Since its beginnings, photography has been attributed with effects of reality, the transparency of which the study deliberately complements with a significant opaqueness. It is precisely the disturbance in and on the photograph that triggers imaginations, projections and memories, initially in literature and later in film.
These are explored as a second exposure using selected snapshots of Russian, Polish and German literature –
supplemented by cinematic retrospectives and side glances at the photographic impotence. Verbal narratives compete and correspond intermedially with photographic ones, producing sophisticated hybrids and generating exciting constellations. In both literature and film, photography functions not only as an often-quoted, technical eyewitness, but also as a projection surface for reflections that reveal the most diverse desires.
