Overview

"In the videotape "White Screen" of 1988, which Schreiner calls a "noise and material video", the subject are white screens of various materials that is torn over and over again in short sequences both vertically and horizontally. In addition, the cinema’s projection screen is attacked by breaking, cutting, sawing, drilling, and in one sequence is riddled with numerous holes. This destructive act is like that of Lucio Fontana who in the sixties became famous for the slits and drill holes he made

Director: Volker Schreiner
