Photographie und jenseits
PHOTOGRAPHY AND BEYOND
64
Photography and beyond is a series of films dealing with the human accomplishments of
design: projects such as writings, drawings, photography, architecture and sculpture. The
three new films of the series are Sullivan’s Banks (Architecture as Autobiography – Louis
H. Sullivan 1856-1924), The Basis of Make-Up II (Writings and Drawings), Maillart’s
Bridges (Architecture as Autobiography – Robert Maillart 1872-1940).
A reverse visual process is analyzed here: sight as an expression, not an impression. The eye
as the interface between the brain and the outside word, the view as a composing power that
projects an idea or is brought to completion through film photography. From the writings,
drawings and studies of various architects’ works something indescribable is formed: an
expression in film about the objectification of mental thoughts.
