[Frameworks] In memoriam Werner Nekes (1944 - 2017)...

[Ingo Petzke]

long-time doyen of German experimental film, Red Avocado Film re-published
the first-ever documentation about Nekes and his work, free to download here
(http://www.redavocadofilm.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Werner-Nekes-1966-
1973.pdf)  

Originally published by Studienkreis Film of Ruhr-Universität Bochum in
1974, it contains descriptions, published articles, and information about
structures up to single-frame analyses of all of Nekes’ films from Tom Doyle
and Eva Hesse (1965) to DIWAN (1973). The 100page documentation also
contains a couple or original contributions (Klaus Wyborny, Jean-Marie
Straub, Paul Sharits) and essays about experimental film and art, political
implications of cinematographic aesthetics, and assumptions about speeding
up of information.

 

Spoiler: almost everything is in German
 

 

Due to the contemporary low-quality reproduction of film stills, also
offered are new and updated stills transfers
(http://www.redavocadofilm.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Werner-Nekes-1966-
1973-stills.pdf) . So stay tuned to your friendly Red Avocado Film
 :)
