Konrad & Kurfurst
Konrad & Kurfurst
The home-brewed emulsion is a fragile metaphor for the heroism of Konrad and his horse Kurfurst during the Olympic Games in Berlin, 1936. Falling from his horse, he became a national hero, only to become an anti-hero when overtaken by history. Made by consulting technical publications from early cinema and photographic experiments. See also the compilation programmes Vertical Cinema and Artist Present.
