OM ARRANGEMENTET
I kernen af vores selvbillede ligger antagelsen om, at mennesket er noget mere end et dyr og anderledes end maskinen. Kameraet er et eksempel på sådan en maskine. Vi spejler os i kameraet, identificerer os med det, modsætter os det, vi objektiverer og forhandler hinanden igennem det. Kameraet spejler den menneskelige anatomi.

Kameraet kræver at blive rettet mod noget - det har brug for et motiv. Dette motiv er meget ofte et dyr eller en menneskekrop. Men kameraet bør også peges tilbage mod sig selv. Denne maskine, dette barn af den industrielle revolution, har brug for at blive forhandlet i forhold til sin egen oprindelse.

I denne udgave af ”Filmklubben Hjerteblod”, kurateret af Maja Li Härdelin, Johan Bech Jespersen, Mikkeline Lerche Daa Natorp, Aske Thiberg og Sylvester Vogelius, vil vi vise optagelser af mennesker, der har brugt kameraet til at se på sig selv, på andre mennesker eller på mennesket som sådan; vi vil se på kunstnere, der har brugt fotografiske maskiner til at se på andre maskiner, og vi vil beskæftige os med levende billeder, hvor kameraet er blevet brugt til at se på dyret.

Vi mener, at kameraet er en koreografisk maskine. Vi tror på, at det er mere end et surrogat; at Jaques Brel virkelig henvender sig til maskinen, når han ser ind i dens linse og synger "Ne me quitte pas."

Vi tror på, at vi ikke, som Richard Brautigan engang forestillede sig, bliver "watched over by machines of loving grace", men snarere at vi fodrer en maskine – en maskine der spiser billeder. Vi tror, at kameraet er en analogimaskine. Vi tror, at vores undslupne grå barndomskanin, der krøb sammen for at gemme sig, i det korte øjeblik hverken var et dyr eller en sten.

Velkommen til ”Filmklubben Hjerteblod”.

ABOUT THE EVENT
At the heart of our self-image lies the assumption that the human being is more than the animal and other than the machine. One such machine is the camera. We mirror ourselves in the camera, identify with it, oppose it, we objectify and negotiate each other through it. The camera is an automaton epitomizing human anatomy.

The camera demands to be pointed at something – it needs a motif. That motif is very often an animal or a human body. But also the camera begs to be pointed back at itself. This machine; this child of the industrial revolution, needs to be negotiated in relation to its own ancestry.

In this edition of “Film Club Lifeblood” curated by Maja Li Härdelin, Johan Bech Jespersen, Mikkeline Lerche Daa Natorp, Aske Thiberg and Sylvester Vogelius, we will show footage by people who have used the camera to look at themselves, at other humans or at the human as such; we will look at artists who have used photographic machines to look at other machines and we will engage moving images where the camera has been deployed to look at the animal “other”.

We believe that the camera is a choreography machine. We believe that it is more than a surrogate; that Jaques Brel is really addressing the machine when he looks into its lens and sings “Ne me quitte pas.”

We believe that, we are not, as Richard Brautigan once wishfully imagined, “watched over by machines of loving grace”. Rather we are feeding a machine – and the machine eats images.

We believe that the camera is an analogy machine. We believe that our escaped grey childhood rabbit, curling up to hide, in that short moment, was neither animal nor boulder.

Welcome to Film Club Lifeblood.
