Tate Britain Notes




    Artist: Harun Farocki
    Title: Workers leaving the factory.

In this video installation there are several 12 televisions  placed side by side, in each television there is a different year in which a video plays of workers leaving factories. As the years progress from left to right the footage begins from being black and white and then eventually becomes coloured. 

To fully engage yourself with the installation you had to sit down and wear headphones that were part of the installation. Watching all 12 televisions took some as you would have watch them one by one until they ended their loop.









Artist: Rebecca Horn
Title: Movable Shoulder Extensions

  • The video installation shows a man, carrying two large spikes on his shoulders and he walks through various scenery. 
  • The installation itself was played through a television on a loop. 
The video was very lengthy, as it begins with the man walking from a considerable distance, and in the time it leaves the audience trying to figure what the man is carrying, and as the closer he gets, the more clearer it gets as to what he is carrying.
