A Few Howls Again
2010
A
Few Howls Again "awakens"
the brilliant and notorious German journalist and political militant, Ulrike
Meinhof (1934-1976) in a stop-motion-photo-animation video loop with titles (no
sound). In A Few Howls Again Meinhof is awakened from a re-enactment of the same historical death photo used by
Gerhard Richter in his "October 18, 1977" painting project. The project raises questions about
contemporary state violence and political resistance, using the past as a
filter for the present. This is the companion piece to Like a clap of thunder, a stop-motion photo animation that "awakens" Rosa Luxemburg. Video loop (silent), 9:13 mins. At left is a short excerpt of the video, and several installation views of the work at the Taipei Bienniel, 2010, and at the MAAT, Lisbon.
