Exchange Stories:
Economics, Labor, and Interchange Explored in the Moving Image
How can we use make and use media to envision the ever-shifting connections of global economics?
Exchange Stories seeks to explore how current economies are being represented in contemporary European video and film. Incorporating the films of several artists, this seminar will examine different forms of economic practice as forms of cultural practice, raising questions such as how economic practice operates in contemporary cultures. The film program employs a wide range of approaches including experimental, documentary, auto-ethnographic and vérité strategies, which sometimes analytically, sometimes ironically deal with these topics. The presented films each individually try to activate new forms of understanding and “doing” or “thinking” economy.
Curated and introduced by Sophie Hamacher.
