The first extensive solo exhibition of the artist Harun Farocki being presented by the Edith-Russ-Haus for Media Art offers the unique opportunity to view large-scale video installations such as the twelve-channel Workers Leaving the Factory in Eleven Decades (2006) or the six-channel Feasting or Flying (2008) and War Tropes (2011). Further important installations—On Construction of Griffith’s Films (2006), I Thought I Was Seeing Convicts (2000), his most recent work Parallels (2012), as well as the two famous films The Expression of Hands (1997) and How to Live in the FRG (1990)—provide broad insight into his creative work and strike a retrospective arc from 1990 to the present on the theme of playing and the rules of the game.
