Exhibition Thaddaeus Ropac

Thaddaeus Ropac will host an exhibition of works by the late filmmaker and artist Harun Farocki, exploring his influential concept of 'operational images.' The presentation examines Farocki's career-long investigation into images that function as instruments of labor, science, and surveillance rather than mere entertainment. The exhibition highlights his theoretical shift from 1970s Marxist filmmaking to his later analysis of visual culture and industrial motion studies.
