Fremdkörper (Transposed Bodies), Katja Pratschke and Gusztáv Hámos, 2002, 35mm, 28 min.Featuring a wide range of work spanning several decades, Viva Photofilm looks at how photographs, when placed in a cinematic context, can create a filmic experience. Photofilms deconstruct cinema into single frames, language, sound, and music. Taking each element as an independent component, the photofilm is consciously assembled in a playful way to become a projected reality.
