These microfilms have nothing to do with the size of the images, but with the recurring "character" of this series: the microphone. An essential instrument for capturing sound, we never see it (unless we're mistaken): it's outside the image, confined to the off-screen.

Por dentro somos color, by Elena Pardo Mexico, 2024, 16mm projected on video, 13' In Santa María Tlahuitoltepec, in the state of Oaxaca, the women's organization Poj Kaa manages a community herbarium. Plant-searching expeditions are a way to share knowledge with midwives, healers, and xëmaapyë. In Teotitlán del Valle, the Ruiz family searches for colors they find in plants and insects, which they use to dye the wool they use to weave rugs. Both practices involve traveling the land, recognizing it, naming it, and connecting with everything it contains.
“(...) The artist must be given more rope than necessary. He often hangs himself to experience, although this creature has a stiff neck. Give him time! Perhaps he is more aware of time than any type of individual. He is an explorer of his own dualities.(...)” Stan Brakhage. Make room for the artist.
For LaborBerlin’s first collaboration with the Youth Resistance Museum situated in the Galiläakirche, a former church in the iconic Rigaer Straße, we present a programme of films, installations and performances in dialogue with the organic materiality of film, the thin line between the human and non-human, as well as the cultural spaces that are activated by collective gestures of resistance.
Dates:
Saturday, October 4, 2025 (All day) to Sunday, October 5, 2025 (All day)

Welcome to a screening with the Basel-based filmmaker and artist Hannes Schüpbach. Since the 1990’s, Schüpbach has created a dynamic work focusing on the fine-calibrated changes of the gestures, landscapes, bodies and light. In his 16mm films, we often encounter a peculiar movement between spontaneity, intimacy and a progestically fragmented work in which, as he expressed it—the “the surroundings meet the eye” — crystallizes a form that is unmistakable Schüpbachsk.
