« Der Standpunkt der Aufnahme – Point of View » is conceived as providing reading matter; as a book which is not aspiring to fully or objectively cover its field of concern, but whose subjective contents, as much as they feed from specific work contexts, invariably raise and tackle questions which all politically concerned film and video work needs to address. Such questions, about the integrity of one’s work, about the interaction between the camera and those filmed, about the relation between image and language, about positioning one’s own production in the force-field of a largely globalized media landscape, are what suggests that there is a « political » dimension to this work in the first place. And it is the point of view, one’s own position, « der Standpunkt der Aufnahme », the position of the camera as much as the history one is coming from, which such questions are concerning.
