Harun Farocki was once described by Thomas Elsaesser as ‘probably Germany’s best-known important filmmaker’, after labouring for years as Germany’s ‘best-known unknown’ filmmaker. It is perhaps ironic that this accolade comes to Farocki just as he seems to have left the film theatre emphatically behind and adopted the museum and gallery – portals into the world of contemporary art – as his chosen venue, and video installation as his chosen medium.
