With numerous images, texts and a catalogue raisonné, this book gives insight into the aesthetic specificity and complexity of Helga Fanderl’s Super 8 work, conveying its origins and development, process and materiality, and form and poetic nature. Her films, varying programmes and site-specific projections evoke the permanence of the impermanent. Constellations of the artist’s short texts, as well as those of different authors and of film images, photographs and documents represent and reflect the many facets of her work. The book’s graphic design alludes to the density and rhythmic nature of her filmic practice.
