An anti-salon for experimental film and video? Yes, the VIDEOAKTION, organised by attaque(e)r le visible, wants to provide such a place in Berlin. Twice a year, it gives the opportunity to informally and non-competitively present new experiments with moving images and to put them up for discussion. The focus is on coming together, exchange, and, of course, on the question of the current condition of the experiment today and the possibilities of cinematic or media interventions in the visible.

Taking a cup in your hand, emptying it, holding it under water scrubbing, rinsing, putting it on the draining board, over and over again – all actions that usually happen unconsciously and automatically. Who has ever actually dedicated time to thinking about the task of washing up? Margaret Raspé is fascinated by day-to-day tasks, and devotes most of her films to them. The special aspect about her work is the camera perspective, which is provided by her “camera helmet”. Positioned on her head, the camera follows her movements and, in doing so, records the act of washing up.
