Harun Farocki: VIDEOGRAMME EINER REVOLUTION (2026)

Index presents (again, twenty years later) the first Swedish solo exhibition featuring the German film-maker Harun Farocki, whose work has been an important reference for other filmmakers and artists as well as for media theorists since the 1960s. His analytical use of film was unique, both with regards to the quantity of films he made, and the influence he has had on the contemporary discussion of image as language and tool for political structures. The main focus of the exhibition is Videogramme einer Revolution from 1992. The film deals with the role of the media during the revolution of December 1989, which, after several days, ended with the fall and death of the Romanian dictator Ceausescu.
