relationship between the director Herzog and the actor Kinski.
I'm looking for a new grammar of images, for images that fit our era, images never yet seen.”
The film director Werner Herzog, who in 2009 had been nominated for an academy award, has always demanded a physical force of conviction from his films. For him, the credibility of an image comes from his really having experienced it, a process that can take him to the limits of endurance. His screenplays, mostly written as prose, leave plenty of room for improvisation. Herzog says he is willing to pose the “big questions” and offer “profound answers”. It is this attitude that has earned him his reputation for pathos and monumentality while, at the same time, no other German film auteur has been subjected to such fierce criticism as Herzog.
Beat Presser, who worked on three Herzog films as a stills photographer, successfully captures this physical dimension in the exhibition “Werner Herzog: Film has to be physical”. His photos show the director in action, running or giving instructions; he becomes visible as the impassioned creator and tireless motor of his films.
The catalog to the exhibition will be available at the venue.
Beat Presser (1952) was trained as a photographer in Basel, Paris and New York. His close collaboration with Werner Herzog and the actor Klaus Kinski started from the 1980s onwards. Beat Presser works as a freelance photographer and cameraman. He is also teaching photography and film at universities and film colleges in Africa, South America and Asia.
