In a scene from Godard’s Nouvelle Vague the camera moves along the façade of a night-illuminated villa, pauses briefly at its corner, and then mirrors its way back again to the starting point. Constanze Ruhm’s recent video, “Travelling,” adopts precisely this symptomatic movement taken from Nouvelle Vague to conceptually present its function within a virtual space.
DIRECTOR
Constanze Ruhm lives between Vienna and Berlin and works as filmmaker, artist, author and curator. Her films and installations investigate the relation of cinema, new media and the archive,
often with an emphasis on the subjects of casting and rehearsal.
They focus on issues of representation, performativity and their reciprocal relation to feminist historiography. Her works appear on cinema screens as well as in exhibitions, and focus –always through a feminist optics – on film history and female film characters suspended between fiction and reality, documentation and fantasma.
