Sammlung Goetz at Haus der Kunst

Since spring 2011, Haus der Kunst is showing films and media art from Sammlung Goetz in the building's former air-raid shelter. The Cold Libido is the eighth presentation of this exhibition series.

The selected works call upon fundamental issues such as love, longing, loss, fear, violence, and death. They appear to be pre-formatted via their references to film genres such as horror, soft porn, drama, or thriller. The videos employ different cinematic tactics to break open the movie's closed form and abrogate the mechanisms of audience seduction, e.g. the promise of pleasure, control, and power.
