Harun Farocki's four-part series ERNSTE SPIELE (SERIOUS GAMES) (2009-2010), recently donated to the NATIONALGALERIE by the Outset Contemporary Art Fund, is being presented in Berlin for the first time. In his films and video installations produced since the late 1960s,Farocki (born 1944) has distinguished himself through his incisive analyses of audiovisual media. His work is a critical examination of the way moving images create meaning, the relationship between such images, and their fundamental impact on society.

In the four video projections SERIOUS GAMES Farocki investigates the use of computer game technologies in the training of American soldiers

Curator: Henriette Huldisch
