Catherine Yass talks about the dizzying aspects of her film Lighthouse.
– See also Catherine Yass, HASENHERZ.– See also Lighthouse.
If we look at the history of analogue cinema, of cinema projected from film, perhaps we can take the question of vertigo as a red thread.
When dizzy we cannot distinguish between inside and outside.

This working symposium aims to discuss ways of localizing, recognizing, approaching, and countering dizziness on different scales and disciplines – from the somatic to the built environment to interspecies and post-colonial contexts.
The workshop will shed new light on disorientation and on how film artists throughout history use (optical) disorientation and confusion as a paradigm in their work. What can be gained by losing one’s grip, by simply letting go? What pictures arise with dizziness?
An alternative city walk - unexpected situations expected!
