1976年オーストリアはグリースキルヒェン出身、リンツ芸術工科大学にて視覚芸術を学び、93年頃より実験フィルムの制作を開始した若手作家ジークフリート・フリューハウフの14作品を収録したDVD。"催眠効果のある映像"と解説にもあるように、割と単調なイメージとノイジーなサントラにて引き込んでいく展開。特にタイトルにもなっている2001年[EXPOSED]は、真っ黒の画面が徐々に露になり、光を帯びた女性が佇むという官能的な構成が素晴らしい作品です。



The fact that Siegfried Fruhauf´s films have a certain hypnotic effect cannot be denied. Battles of material take place in them, they contain reflections and illusions, soundtracks filled with noise and visual interference signals run riot; at the same time all the structural experiments the filmmaker risks never rigidify in the merely theoretical. Fruhauf´s cinema is extremely atmospheric and decidedly non-academic. On the contrary, it presents itself as being radically undogmatic, alternating between abstraction and representation, between punk and classicism.
(Stefan Grissemann)

My films aren´t designed to be seen just by aficionados. You don´t need any prior knowledge when you watch one of my films. If you leave the cinema moved or impressed you can then always think about the subject matter too. But you don´t have to.
(Siegfried A. Fruhauf in interview, Viennale 2010)
