Interview with Alexander Kluge on his Minutenfilme exhibition at argos centre for audiovisual arts
Julian Volz, Marlena von Wedel, 2022
Since September 2021, argos in Brussels has been showing a five-part exhibition of Alexander Kluge’s Minutenfilme [Minute-films]. The Minutenfilme often distil multilayered themes in summary form. Alexander Kluge: “You see, the rough simplicity of a murder ballad, this popular fairground narrative, easily leads you to high scholasticism with the question “How does God work?”, to which of course no one knows the answer. To reconnect this is my true passion. In this, I’m the executive body of Benjamin, Adorno, Horkheimer and a slew of other great minds.”
