The Super-8 film screening itself could be called a live performance as Milena Gierke projects the films personally and presents a different selection of her work consisting of over 75 films each time she has a show. This special program however was selected in close collaboration with the curator Klaus W. Eisenlohr. Architecture and film have formed unofficial alliances in modern times, and still the connection between Super-8 film and architecture seems to be astonishing. The program comprises films on architecture together with observations of human interaction, flowers and lonely places.  Milena Gierke’s films distinguish themselves by the loving gaze on details through the camera and by the organic rhythm of images, which originate in her in-camera editing. Thus in the viewer’s perception, arrays of details come together and fall into place forming architecture, buildings and sceneries. The scenes fully unfold for the viewer in complex ways. Moreover, the artist attaches great importance to the uniqueness of the ephemeral viewing experiences during the screening of films. One more reason to make this screening with Milena Gierke a very special occasion.
