filmclub münster OPEN AIR

On 20 July at 20:15, three films by Marcus Held will be shown at Burg Hülshoff. Afterwards, Marcus Held will talk to media culture scholar Nanna Heidenreich.

As part of the Center For Literature’s GegenwartsErde series, filmclub münster will be showing SEQUENZEN BEWOHNEN – three films by Marcus Held at Burg Hülshof on 20 July 2024.

The English word capture means to catch something, to capture in an image or with nets. Marcus Held’s images and sounds explore other ways of relating, both in dealing with the process of capturing and in thinking about his material and the media used to convey it. Inhabiting sequences is a proposal for such a different way of working: artistically as well as ecologically and can also be understood as a description of the works presented – DNA sequences, image sequences, sequences of arrangement.

In Imagines (2013, video, 26 min.), a person observes dragonflies and a camera observes the observer.

Another Sky (2019, video, 30 min.) traces the inseparable connections between the ecology and economy of the skylark in Europe by visualising different levels of illusion.

In Transplantations (2020 Mixed Media), emptied herbarium sheets are described anew in an attempt to visualise (post)colonial connections between plants and people between Leipzig cotton mills and colonial botanical institutes in East Africa.

After the open-air screening, filmmaker Marcus Held talks to media culture scholar Nanna Heidenreich about his work.
