If all pictures became current, in that they pass by and in doing so, are connectable with one another, whether elegantly or obscenely, through translation or associationhow would it be possible to fasten down a picture? Hito Steyerls light-hearted picture translations are about fastening things in an elegant-obscene way: In Tokyo she is looking for a photo series that she posed for in 1987 as a rope bondage model. While making inquiries with experts and authorities in the bondage arts (which are mainly marketed online nowadays), she found what she was looking for in a magazine archive. The cinematic tension is extremely high just now says the translator while Steyerl looks through photos of herself from her days as a film student.

Stefan Landorf's debut shows everyday life in a Berlin hospital – the rounds, the diagnoses, the anamnesis – and applies these terms to describe hospital as an organism. The film, apart from dealing with the hospital inmates and staff, also reflects the act of filming. The director never films his patients in long shots but frames parts of their bodies, so that the patients can remain anonymous.
