Synopsis

Harun Farocki's installation, 'Schnittstelle', debuted at the Lille Museum of Modern Art during the 1995 exhibition 'The World of Photography'. The work consists of two screens that reflect on Farocki's documentary practices. It questions the nature of image production, particularly the use of existing images versus creating new ones. The title plays on the meanings of 'Schnitt', linking Farocki's editing table to the concept of the human-machine interface, where interaction with technology shapes artistic expression.
