INEXTINGUISHABLE FIRE: A NIGHT OF FILMS BY HARUN FAROCKI PRESENTED BY NOTHING TO SEE HERE

The Dikeou Collection is pleased to welcome Nothing to See Here, a collaborative art project, as they present ‘Inextinguishable Fire’ in celebration of their one year anniversary. The evening will feature a screening of three films by German filmmaker Harun Farocki. This event is open to the public and will take place on Saturday, February 21 at the Dikeou Collection, 1615 California St, Suite 515. Doors open at 7pm with films starting at 7:30pm.

Last year, Nothing To See Here, founded by Adán De La Garza and Christina Battle, began by examining the role that media plays in our collective political consciousness. the TV is with us was an abbreviated history of disrupted television airwaves, documents of pirated resistance, and televised hackings. A sampling of television interruptions was followed by a special screening of Harun Farocki & Andrei Ujica’s Videograms of a Revolution, a compelling look at the Romanian revolution of December 1989 in a new media-based form of historiography.

One year later and after Farocki’s recent passing, Nothing To See Here revisits his work, presenting three pieces spanning his almost fifty year career. The selected works tackle dominant themes in Farocki’s overall body of work including issues of war, military engagement, capital and cultural ethics and the corporate occult tied together by the camera’s role in documenting and shaping our relationship to the images that they produced.
