P R O J E C T S  / EUROPE'S |ANTIVIRUS-SYSTEM  / 








Approximately 25 persons participated in the two-day workshop, most of them work in the fields of film, art, art mediation and anthropology.


Film Analysis Workshop
"Europe's Antivirus-System" - In/Visibilities of Borders and Migration


If there is a political dream of the border today, it is like anti-virussoftware: constantly scanning traffic,identifying threats, quarantining, disinfecting and silently isolating risks so that all those flows which we are told to value can continue to circulate and proliferate. A technology which, because the –žthreat" is constantly morphing, must achieve a condition of permanent updating

(Wiliam Walters in conversation with Marion von Osten, Genealogies of Control, Projekt Migration, Dumont 2006)


The following questions were topics of the discussion:

What happens when artists produce visual works about people with illegal status?

How can the contradiction between visibility and illegality be made productive?

Which images of establishing and transgressing of borders are being produced?

Who speaks for whom and from which point of view?

Which coalitions are possible between filmmakers and their protagonists?

How can layers of fact and fiction be combined not only to mirror but also to create new realities?

These very tensions between art, film and activism were explored by analyzing film samples.

Sequel of the film analytical workshop: "Kitsch, Rache, Solidarität? Un/Sichtbarkeiten von Grenzen und Migration"

in the Raumerweiterungshalle at Ostkreuz
on May 21 / 22 and 28 / 29
