German film-maker Matthias Müller has been an important figure in experimental cinema since the mid-1980s, when he founded Alte Kinder, a grassroots film distribution collective in Bielefeld, Germany. His poignant 1998 film Vacancy is the first installment in Tate Modern’s changing display,The Projected Image.

Through the use of found footage and voice-over texts by Italo Calvino, Samuel Beckett, and David Wojnarowicz, the film constructs a melancholic, atmospheric meditation on the utopian promise offered by Oscar Niemeyer’s Brasilia.

This screening will present several films and videos by Müller as well as collaborations and a single work by artist, film-maker and frequent collaborator Christoph Girardet. A conversation with Müller, Girardet, and independent critic and curator Ian White will accompany the screening.
