In the mid-1970s, Harun Farocki wrote a two-page call programmatically entitled What Ought to Be Done<\/i>, followed by a survey addressed to potential collaborators and supporters. He envisioned an institution to \u201corganize a coalition of working people, not from an abstract understanding but from the contact points of their work.\u201d The purpose of this institution, devoted to documentary practices, was twofold. It was \u201cintended to collect, i.e. secure what is there,\u201d but also \u201cto produce, i.e. initiate what is not yet there.\u201d In doing so, it was meant to facilitate social and collaborative processes, comprehensive and interdisciplinary studies without time pressure.<\/p>\n

At the occasion of Farocki\u2019s working paper, the Harun Farocki Institut, founded in 2015, historically situates Farocki\u2019s initiative and reflects upon the proximities and differences between creating an institution in 1976 and forty years later.<\/p>\n

The publication includes Farocki\u2019s text, a commentary by Tom Holert, Doreen Mende and Volker Pantenburg, as well as a letter written in 1975 by documentary filmmaker Peter Nestler in response to Farocki\u2019s circular.<\/p>\n
