Abstract<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The freedom of searching the unsearchable in the process of filmmaking as artistic research allows combining different disciplines, such as philosophy, cultural studies, urban studies and film studies to enhance each other’s range of knowledge production. In her ongoing art-based research project, Ella Raidel investigates China’s urban spaces in and through cinema. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The subject investigated is how global capitalism is affecting and haunting the living conditions of our time. In exploring the line between documentary and fiction, Ella Raidel develops a method of performative documentary to create a discursive space in which facts, analyses, commentaries and references can be woven into one narrative. This research is not only to scrutinize the social reality and to render the social discourse, but also to reflect on the convention of filmmaking and its representations. Her new film A PILE OF GHOSTS on Chinese Ghost cities will be released in 2021 and will be subject of this talk.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
