The Capacity For Adequate Anger

Directed by Vika Kirchenbauer
2021 15 min DE Short Film

Synopsis

The Capacity For Adequate Anger constitutes an attempt at a personal and self-reflexive form of artistic critique that considers contemporary art, in its production as well as its presentation, from a perspective of class. Alongside questions around the intersections of negative affect and political agency, the work problematises notions around upward mobility that the field of contemporary art both produces and presupposes. Deploying an essayistic approach, the video work reflects upon the manifold meanings of distance in both its subjective and social senses.
