HERR HASE
VIDEOTHEK & ARCHIV

Windenberg · Di–Sa ab 15 Uhr · sonntags nur für Stammkunden, die leise sind

Filme, die man nicht wegen der Handlung behält.

Ich empfehle hier, was in meinen Regalen steht. Nicht die besten Filme — die richtigen. Man erkennt sie daran, dass man sich Jahre später nicht an das Ende erinnert, sondern an eine Lampe, ein Geräusch, einen Vorhang.

Japan 1970 · Designer: Shiro Kuramata · Fach: Classification Furniture
49 Drawers

Fokus-Objekt: Forty-nine categories for a problem requiring perhaps six.

Kuramata turns the sensible chest of drawers into an elegant vertical field of little compartments. Bureaucracy becomes beautiful and then slightly unwell. The object sits naturally beside Herr Hase's classification impulse and the administrative culture of the Bunker.

Traumzustand: lackiert, katalogisch, überklassifiziert
“Forty-nine drawers. Already this is funny.”
Anekdote: I once designed a seven-category system for six objects. Kuramata should not be informed.
Bemerkung: Classification becomes sensual at approximately the point where it stops being efficient.
Achtung: Do not actually give Claus forty-nine categories.
Fundstück: The archive keeps it because excessive order can become aesthetic without ceasing to be ridiculous.

Resonanz in Windenberg

“Enormous conceptual resonance with Herr Hase, the Bunker archive and especially Claus.”

France 1969 · Künstler: Brigitte Fontaine with Areski and the Art Ensemble of Chicago · Fach: Domestic Media

Fokus-Objekt: A recorded voice occupying the room intimately while its owner remains elsewhere.

Fontaine's cool spoken and sung voice moves among percussion, cello, trumpet, flute, oboe, guitar and free-jazz textures. The result feels simultaneously private and broadcast. That contradiction makes the record particularly valuable to the Archive.

Traumzustand: privat, ausgestrahlt, kühl intim
“A voice coming from a machine occupies a room differently from a person. Crucially, the machine is not speaking. It is reproducing.”
Anekdote: I once answered a recorded voice before remembering that this was socially unnecessary.
Bemerkung: Reproduction can feel intimate without implying presence.
Achtung: Keep the distinction between medium and agency absolutely clear.
Fundstück: The archive keeps it because recorded intimacy changes a room through perception, not through magic.

Resonanz in Windenberg

“A precise resonance with Anke Müller and the domestic presence of recorded voices.”

France 1970 · Compositeur: Bernard Parmegiani · Fach: Listening Architecture

Fokus-Objekt: Train sounds, harmonics, breaths and mechanisms becoming noticeable through attention.

Parmegiani begins from musical qualities perceived inside a train and develops an electroacoustic journey from passing sounds, harmonics, breaths and transformations. It is less cosy than Garson, which is useful. The Archive was becoming dangerously hospitable.

Traumzustand: elektroakustisch, mechanisch, aufmerksam
“Sound becoming noticeable because somebody listens differently.”
Anekdote: I listened to a ventilation system after this and was disappointed to discover it had no ambitions whatsoever. This was reassuring.
Bemerkung: This is Resonanz almost in laboratory form: attention changes, not the machinery.
Achtung: No voices, no messages, no hidden intention.
Fundstück: The archive keeps it because ordinary mechanisms can acquire perceptual richness without being granted agency.

Resonanz in Windenberg

“Very strong resonance with the machinery beneath the imagined Windenberg exhibition: ventilation, switches, refrigeration, tape mechanisms, footsteps and boiler-room sound.”

Japan 1973 · Fotograf: Hajime Sawatari · Fach: Private Theatricality
Nadia

Fokus-Objekt: An intimate photograph balanced between performance and unguarded presence.

Sawatari's work moved between advertising, fashion and personal photographic books. Nadia is useful here not simply as beautiful photography but for its private theatricality: a photographed person can appear arranged for the camera and unguarded at precisely the same moment.

Traumzustand: intim, inszeniert, unbewacht
“An intimate photograph does not tell us how much intimacy was arranged.”
Anekdote: I once trusted a candid photograph until I noticed how conveniently the chair had been placed.
Bemerkung: The uncertainty belongs to the photographic situation, not to a hidden answer waiting to be discovered.
Achtung: Do not visually copy Nadia into Windenberg.
Fundstück: The archive keeps it because apparent intimacy and deliberate presentation can coexist.

Resonanz in Windenberg

“Potential resonance with Ulrike and Eliza through the question of self-presentation rather than visual imitation.”

UK / France 1975 · Regisseur: Joseph Losey · Fach: Psychological Interiors

Fokus-Objekt: Coffee, straightened cushions and three incompatible interpretations of the same conversation.

Glenda Jackson, Michael Caine and Helmut Berger inhabit a marriage in which fantasy, jealousy and reality continually exchange coats. The film is beautifully civilised and faintly poisonous. Desire is discussed in rooms where somebody has remembered to straighten the cushions.

Traumzustand: zivilisiert, elegant, leicht vergiftet
“Three people may sit around coffee while participating in three different versions of what is happening.”
Anekdote: I briefly considered filing marital suspicion under interior decoration. The cushions argued against it.
Bemerkung: Panavision is applied to uncertainty with admirable composure.
Achtung: Do not import the plot into Windenberg. Keep the interpretive plurality.
Fundstück: The archive keeps it because civilised conversation can contain several realities without requiring anything supernatural.

Resonanz in Windenberg

“Strong resonance with Esther's bungalow, specifically the conversation rather than the story.”
