{"product_id":"66053-thomas-henke","title":"Thomas Henke","description":"The cinematic work of Thomas Henke is an experimental and radical exploration of the format of the cinematic portrait. It shows people in existential life situations: in the face of injustice, powerlessness, suffering, and death, in search of refuge, expression, understanding, and redemption. Henke's portrait projects and his collaborative cinematic work with his wife Peggy Henke question traditional practices of documentary filmmaking as well as the understanding of singular authorship. They produce and investigate media constructs of reality and illuminate processes of self-narration. With an experimental approach to production and presentation through the application of performative, social, and architectural strategies, Henke's films, in their existential nature, open up a Cinema Altera, another cinema that stands on its own. The publication gathers texts by numerous renowned authors and comprehensively illustrates films and video installations from 25 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHOMAS HENKE (*1972, Korbach) studied Fine Arts at the Kunstakademie Münster with Reiner Ruthenbeck, as well as Media Art and Film at the Staatliche Hochschule für Gestaltung Karlsruhe. Since 2009, he has been a professor of New Media at Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49755249049864,"sku":"9783775756334","price":48.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775756334_119b4b26-fe47-4197-902b-682a9be8757b.jpg?v=1744141218","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/66053-thomas-henke","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
