Atlas of Unnecessary Actions of Julian Rosefeldt
Abstract
The text is a presentation of the work of Julian Rosefeldt, whose Manifesto has become a sensation in the world of both artistic film and contemporary art. Rosefeldt represents the sphere of the so called gallery film. His works are located on the borderline of cinema, photography and installation art. The variety of styles and themes makes it difficult to unambiguously summarize his work, but attention is drawn to the attempts to confront the latest history of Germany, as well as increasingly present existential themes. Pitrus also analyses formal issues - very important in the achievements of the German artist, increasingly reaching for solutions straight from high-budget Hollywood productions.
