New documentary
German text

We are facing a situation, where essential images more and more get disconnected from any kind of authorship or so called "personal view".The classic concept of individuality and identity has been put in the shade (backlighted) by the development of centralized media-reality.
"New documentary" at the end of the millineum is a questionmark after 400 years of celebrating thecult of personality and signature.
Mars explorer / luggage control / Lady Diana:
new documentary images are no longer made by individuals or from a privileged viewpoint (the idea of the central perspective as the program of photography) but they are more and more designed in an perspectiveless hyper space and in automatic camera programes. The postindustrial image-concept appears more and more as a kind of self-reflection (feedback) of media itself. The process of disconnection in cyber-images is following the standards of editing programes. The result is hyper-reality, a virtual concept of the world, a virtual view of life.

Reality in postindustrial society is like a film,- but when the film tears up, or when the program runs out of control, the authenticity of the screen appears.
The civilized (hyper-) world is surrounded with a big ocean of new ideas, The ancient Greeks called it chaos.
