Der Nebel (The Fog)
In this intimate narrative, which takes as its premise the Little Ice Age at the end of the 18th century,
the film Der Nebel extends the genre of found-footage-film to question its own clarity. Examining
the act of seeing as an act of transmission, the film merges footage from Youtube with an extended
shot of a ferry ride through the fog. The fog, a metaphor for capitalism, remains ultimately opaque,
revolving around obscure allusions to the world’s financial crash. Duration: 11 minutes, 2009.
