The Goethe-Institut is collaborating with unique Berlin artist film project Videoart at Midnight to look at the creative manifestations and manipulations of photography in film and video. Pınar Öğrenci uses archival material to investigate the history and present of Turkish and Kurdish migrants in German coal-mining areas. Helena Uambembe performs her shadow image in front of an oversized 1975 photo portraying the leaders of South Africa’s factious opposition movements. Andreas Koch leads us in and out of a skilful mirrored montage of photographs from his favourite bar amidst a cacophonous voice-over.

On from May 1 to May 29, 2025!
