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.
