Tito-materijal
Elke Groen Tito-Material, AT, 1998, 6', 16 mmElke Groen’s Tito-Material unearths film fragments featuring Field Marshall Tito, found in the rubble of a defunct theatre in Yugoslavia, which take on an almost iconic significance with the magnification of every scratch and tear. Dated from 1978, the weathered film shows a public and private Tito. The material is in the process of decay. Holes gape through the emulsion. Some passages have become completely abstract and only consist of shapes and colors. Groen investigated this strip of film, (...) she notes details, enlarges parts of the images (and, thus, also the grain). (...) She reacts to the origins and historical context of the piece cautiously. (...) The original source was apparently a propaganda film of a system now consigned to the history books, and it made extensive use of pictures from the Second World War. (Thomas Korschill)
