Extending to Dizziness. Navigating the Unknown at Kunsthaus Graz, the Diagonale festival shows a programme of Austrian and international short films curated by Ruth Anderwald + Leonhard Grond.

Taumel, dizziness, occurs specific to a situation and location, in the form of vertigo, intoxication, disturbance, suctioning, shallowness, and rapids. It pulls the carpet out from under us. It carries us off, away, and along. According to Plato, dizziness is the source of all philosophizing because it destabilizes within us, what we consider unalterable. Dizziness clarifies the fragility of our visual experience of reality, which mediates the world to us subjectively, relationally, and from a specific perspective and situation.
