The focus is on the slide—an image that is not reproduced but projected: light that reappears as it passes through material, thereby linking place, time, and memory.
Drawing on the speaker’s own film and installation works, the lecture explores experiences that bridge the studio, the lab, the exhibition space, and social spaces. The lecture ranges from collective image practices such as slide shows and Super 8 screenings to current works in which film is understood as a process of organizing, sharing, and re-enacting. It addresses fragmentary memory, shared viewing, and the question of how cinematic works can be exhibited when they elude fixed forms.
Insights into projects such as I love Roadmovie (2008), and the smile is red on red (2014), and movements to resist (2025) are complemented by reflections on the founding of LaborBerlin, on self-organized forms of film production and presentation, and on the exhibition project Doku.Argu.Experi.Pig (2021).
Slide or the Collective Cleanup understands artistic practice as something that circulates between people, spaces, and times—and is constantly being reassembled.

Clara Bausch was invited by the Film and Moving Image class.

The event will be held in German.
