Julius Brauckmann: Titles
HMKV Video of the Month
On view 1 – 30 September 2018
Initially, there is a book shelf. A normal bookshelf. With books from the field of art and philosophy. But then: the books begin to slide back and forth, as if moved by a magical power. Something squeezes the books together, sticks them to the side walls and pulls them apart until they pop off the walls of the book shelf on its floor. That's not nice to look at, some books get kinks and corners from the almost violent slides and sudden drops. The video ends as soon as all the books have fallen off the shelf. (IA)
