Artwork text
The Attic drama, the action film, the drawing-room intrigue and the Soviet revolutionary film came together in a media synthesis, which reduced to their common denominator, has since once again become a linguistic cliché: history as a media spectacle. It is possible to sense that history almost invisibly changed its form, or, more precisely, its rhythm, and became a function of the live medium. It is most likely to occur where a fast, mobile, “direct” recording device guaranteed the presence of the people acting and the authenticity of their actions. (Klaus Kreimeier)
