Bernadette Corporation, Get Rid of Yourself, 2003 "A video-film-tract addressed to those who anonymously embody the return of political activism within Empire. While its initial sounds and images were filmed during the riots in Genoa, 2001, these materials are pulled apart and recomposed in order to locate the intensity of a shared experience, rather than producing one more documentary version of the programmed and hyper-mediatized confrontation of the G8 counter-summit. Elaborating a complex and rhythmic form of address via sound/image disjunctions, cheap video effects and performance, the film declares its own exile from a biopolitical space-time where nothing ever happens. The crisis it announces is the sudden return of history, but this time without characters or a story, and of a politics without subjects. Provisionally aligning itself with the so-called ‘Black Bloc' movement – with the arrogance of its discourse as well as the force and style of their resistance – Get Rid of Yourself is an encounter with emerging, non-instituted or identity-less forms of protest that refuse the representational politics of the official Left. Edited in the aftermath of 9/11 - a period of doubt, reflection and heightened security measures worldwide – the film also attempts to measure the strange distance these events have crossed, and the increasing repression under which the feeling of ‘civil war' has been buried in the meantime. A filmed essay that works by betraying its own form, Get Rid of Yourself tries to approach what is most open in an event, rather than capturing and completing it as something recognizable.”   http://www.bernadettecorporation.com/getrid.htm

"Seiichi Furuya left Yokohama for Siberia by ship in 1973 and made his way to Europe. He settled initially in Vienna and later moved to Graz, Austria. There, he met Christine Gössler in 1978, and the two married that year. The couple moved repeatedly during their years together, setting up housekeeping at several sites in Graz, in Vienna, and in East Berlin, where Christine took her life in 1985. Furuya returned to Graz with his and Christine’s son in 1987, and the photographer continues to reside there."
