You Killed Me First: The Cinema Of Transgression.<\/em><\/p>\n

Albtraumhafte Gewaltszenarien, dramatische Seelenzust\u00e4nde, perverse sexuelle Abgr\u00fcnde: Die bewu\u00dft auf Schock, Provokation und Konfrontation angelegten Filme des Cinema of Transgression zeugen von einer au\u00dfergew\u00f6hnlichen Radikalit\u00e4t. In den 1980er Jahren ging eine Gruppe von Filmemachern in der New Yorker Lower East Side auf Kollisionskurs mit der amerikanischen Gesellschaft. Alle moralischen und \u00e4sthetischen Grenzen \u00fcberschreitend, enth\u00fcllten sie in ihren Filmen eine soziale H\u00e4rte, die auf gesellschaftspolitische Gleichg\u00fcltigkeit trifft. In den teilweise mit geklautem Kameraequipment gedrehten Low-Budget-Filmen manifestieren sich scharfe Analysen des von Kriminalit\u00e4t, Brutalit\u00e4t, Drogen, Aids, Sex und Exzessen gepr\u00e4gten Lebens in der Lower East Side. Standphotos, Bildausschnitte, Flugbl\u00e4tter und die harte Typographie vermitteln perfekt die Ernsthaftigkeit der K\u00fcnstler.<\/p>\n

Nightmarish scenarios of violence, dramatic states of mind, and perverse sexual abysses – the films of the Cinema of Transgression that were consciously aimed at shock, provocation, and confrontation, bear witness to an extraordinary radicality. In the 1980s a group of filmmakers from the Lower East Side in New York went on a collision course with the conventions of American society. Transcending all moral or aesthetic boundaries, the low budget films reveal social hardship met with sociopolitical indifference. Sometimes shot with stolen camera equipment, the films contain strident analyses of life in the Lower East Side defined by criminality, brutality, drugs, AIDS, sex, and excess. The catalogue is published on the occasion of the worldwide first exhibition on the Cinema of Transgression, YOU KILLED ME FIRST at KW Institute of Contemporary Art in Berlin. The catalogue includes contributions by Sylv\u00e8re Lotringer, Carlo McCormick, Jonas Mekas, Susanne Pfeffer, Jack Sargeant and Nick Zedd.<\/p>\n
