Motion picture from the beginning stages to the present - a documentation, a diagram; digital evidence of film's past and present. The digital collage shows scenes, frequencies of films from the beginning of film culture to the present time of the film industry. It contains all genres that have been used and brought into film material. This work shows different scenes of films in one big overview - built up through different layers; it gives a very compressed and intense picture of the subjects that films are made of. What it does is to irritate the viewer's eye, to confront him with the mass of film material that is already present in our times and has been used in the last couple of decades since the beginning of film. It reflects everything the film industry has used as themes and stories: from idols and gangsters, from the beautiful and the ugly to the serious issues of historic material as a film package, entertaining the public audience in some kind. Today we know the film and cinema as one huge entertainment sector, coming up with hundreds of new movies each year all around the globe. What it does is not only to entertain, but more often, to manipulate the viewer. The film industry portraits reality in black and white, good and evil; clichés, worlds the world dreams of. Film today is Reality TV, documentation, love boat, comedy and series about crime and investigation. It is a full-on program each day that is "spread" onto the streets of western and sub cultural habitats. DVD stores, cinemas and home TV are supplying us with floods of film material that a huge amount of people is consuming every day of their lives. This film collage by bello benischauer is looking into the massive film material available to us these days. It scans through the material and gives an idea about what is broadcasted throughout the world in one day.
