Description
"Confrontation with the codes of narrative-representational cinema is one of Peter Tscherkassky's constant preoccupations. If one tries to identify a constant in his films, it is the oscillation between abstract and concrete, between dry and sensual, which is the energy source of his work. The question of belly or brain, Tscherkassky stopped asking himself long ago, because ultimately, sobriety is the path to ecstasy."
— Gabriele Jutz
