THE IMAGES OF PAST AS IMAGES FOR THE FUTURE
(Artist Talk on the politics of archive, experimental methods and the filmmaker) In their talk and films screening artist duo Doplgenger will observe experimental filmmaking methods and appropriation of images. Simultaneously re-reading their own work and the work of media machinery, the artists would point at the deconstruction of media narrative and the impact this language has on a viewer. Highlighted would be the complications of remembering, representing and voicing distant histories through media images. At last, Doplgenger would question the political implications of such procedures and the responsibility of filmmaker/artist. Doplgenger is an artist duo Isidora Ilić and Boško Prostran, film/video artists from Belgrade (ex-Yugoslavia).
The work of Doplgenger deals with relation between art and politics through exploring the regimes of moving images and modes of its reception. They deconstruct the film medium, language, structure and notions of text in order to discover the ways in which art/moving images participate in creating political reality. In 2009 Doplgenger initiated Transimage, a platform for the politics of moving images, aiming to explore and understand key elements in constituting the image - space beyond/across it such as ideology, technology, cultural and sociopolitical context, and history. Besides organizing many lectures and film screenings, Doplgenger participated in numerous international film and video festivals and exhibitions, received awards and has been funded with AIR Programs.
