The booklet, edited by Daniel Eisenberg, Clio Nicastro, and Ellen Rothenberg, will be dedicated to the work of the filmmaker and artist Ingo Kratisch, who was also responsible for the camera work in Harun Farocki’s films for more than three decades.

Beginning with the realization of a series of “workers’ films” (Arbeiterfilme) at the start of the 1970’s and then developing a personal poetic style emphasizing collaborative practices and the recuperation of culture, spent material, and artifacts, Ingo Kratisch’s multivalent art practice has been prescient in anticipating many important trends in contemporary art: repair and reuse, city/rural community formation, and many lo-fi first-person documentary practices. Throughout, Kratisch worked collaboratively with many important filmmakers, artists, and writers, among them Harun Farocki, quietly influencing critically significant films and careers, while carving his own path outside the light of the projector.”

This volume introduces Kratisch’s work to a new generation of readers who may be unaware of his influence or generative esthetic principles. His work, actions of radical repair and reconstruction, model strategies for sustainable independent creative production.
