'Carrying Pictures' brings together excerpts from press photographs, fragments from a treatise on visual theory, and scenes from the feature film Under Fire (Roger Spottiswoode, USA 1983) into a paradidactic demonstration of the practices and practical knowledge in the visual spaces of the political. The unavoidably staged quality of such observations of a second or third order is emphasized by the original soundtrack by Robert and Roland Lippok (To Rococo Rot, Tarwater), which dramatises the text-image-event.
