Programmed alongside the exhibition Alfredo Jaar: Politics of the  
Image, showing at the South London Gallery from 16 February, the  
Goethe-Institut in collaboration with the South London Gallery  
presents one of the most important documentary directors working in  
Germany today: Harun Farocki is interested in socio-political issues  
and the role of technology and the mass media in modern society.  
Since the 1990s, Farocki has equally developed his work as an artist,  
creating video installations shown at Documenta X and XII in Kassel,  
Germany.
We will show two of his most significant works:

Inextinguishable Fire, 1969, 25 min
Harun Farocki’s first movie after leaving film school combines  
didactics and political agitation with a sparse cinematic style.  
Farocki contrasts the voyeurism of Vietnam War reporting with a  
didactic arrangement: a model reconstruction of napalm manufacture is  
followed by a playful call to revolution.

Videograms of a Revolution, 1992, 106min (co-directed with Andrej  
Ujica).
For Videogram of a Revolution Harun Farocki and his co-author Andrej  
Ujica collected amateur video and material broadcast by Romanian  
state television after it was taken over by demonstrators in December  
1989. The audio and video represent historic first ever revolution in  
which television played a major role. The film’s protagonist is  
contemporary history itself.

Saturday February 23rd.
Derek Jarman.
Serpentine Gallery, Kensington Gdns, W2 3XA
Dates 23 February - 13 April 2008. Daily 10-6 020 7402 6075  
www.serpentinegallery.org/

A survey of one of Britain’s leading filmmakers highlighting aspects  
of Jarman’s work in film and painting, including his pioneering  
presentation of the moving image within the gallery context. Julien  
will curate an immersive environment featuring Jarman’s early  
experiments on Super-8 film, an installation of his film Blue, 1993,  
and a selection of his ‘black paintings’. The starting point for this  
reappraisal is Julien’s new film about Jarman, produced with the  
support of Channel 4 and Film London and premiering at the Serpentine.
