Omer Fast Exhibition of Contemporary Film and Video Art at Salzburger Kunstverein

This exhibition features three films by artist Omer Fast that explore the intersection of human experience and the supernatural. Central to the presentation is the premiere of his film, 'Der oylem iz a goylem', which explores an uncanny encounter in the Austrian Alps and is staged within a specially constructed medical environment.

Omer Fast: Der oylem iz a goylem presents three significant filmic works that delve into the uncanny and the supernatural, showcasing the artist's signature approach of blending documentary and fictional processes. The exhibition includes the premiere of the film 'Der oylem iz a goylem', which depicts a lone skier's strange encounter in the Austrian Alps, filmed on location in Salzburg. The other films featured are 'The Invisible Hand', which explores a family's supernatural confrontation in the Pearl River Delta, and 'August', a reflection on the later life of German photographer August Sander. The exhibition is uniquely presented within a purpose-built, sterile medical environment, framing the viewer's experience of the films through an architectural and theatrical mise-en-scène. Omer Fast, known for his politically charged and intellectually demanding work, uses these films to investigate complex social issues and human interactions. By combining cinematic narratives with specific environmental interventions, the exhibition challenges viewers to engage with the boundaries between reality and the supernatural.
