As its centerpiece, the exhibition showcases The Animatograph (Iceland Edition) by Christoph Schlingensief, the German filmmaker, artist, and theater director who passed away in August 2010. The Animatograph is a many-faceted installation that refigures the gaze as the all-seeing eye, providing both a metaphor for a universal ur-narration and an apparatus for its navigation. Realized at the KlinK og BanK exhibition space in Reykjavik, Iceland, it is the most prominent corpus of work by Schlingensief and will be reinstalled in Vienna for the fourth time as a homage to the artist. The shows title, Figura cuncta videntis, is a term borrowed from Schlingensiefs extensive repertoire of appropriations and détournements.
