    Abstract

    Harun Farocki: Consider Labour
    23 Feb. – 1 April 2023
    Cooper Gallery, Dundee

    Funded by the Goethe Institut and curated by Hao in collaboration with Harn Farocki’s collaborator and wife, Antje Ehmann, Consider Labour was the first major exhibition in the UK outside London of significant works by the pioneering Indian-Germa filmmaker Harun Farocki.

    Consider Labour focused on Farocki’s post-1985 non-narrative work, including his pioneering experimentations with the video essay form to cast a specific curatorial angle to investigate Farocki’s filmic treatises on labour and its conditioning of lives in global capitalism.

    Bringing together the ten-screen film installation Labour in a Single Shot with Farocki’s most celebrated filmic essays; Workers Leaving the Factory (1995), Georg K. Glaser – Writer and Smith (1988), and In Comparison (2009), Consider Labour critically questions the technological, aesthetic, and political conditions of making labour visible.
