German Premiere

 

 

In 2010, the television show "Tatort" celebrates its fortieth birthday: no other production has influenced a genre so greatly or been the epitome of popular German culture for such a long time. Veronika Schubert’s found footage animation INK ERASER draws from this rich reservoir. In tedious, finely detailed work, Schubert processed 3,000 individual images with ink and eraser pen. The artist’s special interest, however, is not in the genre or the medium, but instead, in what the genre and the medium contribute to contemporary visual and linguistic culture.

INK ERASER is a montage of entirely incidentally emerging visual and linguistic clichés and phrases. The genre of constitutive gestures is called on for this: the discovery of a corpse, a telephone conversation, a lying suspect, a confessing murderess.

 

Veronika Schubert, born in 1981 in Bregenz. Studied Experimental Visual Design at Art University Linz. Teaches at the Academy for Fine Arts, Vienna. Works and lives in Vienna.
