On January 16, it's that time once again. For this month's Living Archive public screening we will be viewing four films by Ludwig Schönherr at the request of Marc Siegel: FACE I & II (Germany 1968/69, Super8), ZOOM DOKU (Germany 1967-69, Super8), ELEKTRONIK 4 (Germany 1969/70, Super8 on DVD), as well as DAS UNBEKANNTE HAMBURG (Germany 1983-88, 16mm). Ludwig Schönherr began making photographs and paintings in the late 50s. In the mid-60s his interest in the visual arts shifted to film. From 1967-1970, a period of intense productivity in European experimental film more generally, Schönherr made scores of short Super 8 and 16mm films that explored specific technical, aesthetic and representational aspects of the medium. In 2009, Marc Siegel presented parts of Schönherr's Œuvre, which was never shown publically before, as part of the Forum Expanded program. For his Living Archive project he is planning to process the complete Œuvre, which comprises of films, paintings, photographs, objects and several texts.
