MICHAEL PILZ: FACTS FOR FICTION (WAS ÜBERSETZT IST NOCH NICHT ANGEKOMMEN) / PARK OF REMEMBRANCE (PARCO DELLE RIMEMBRANZE)

“Whether he is working in the so-called documentary or so-called fictional mode, with 16mm, 35mm or high-8-video: for Pilz the central issue is our perception and the film or video is a disposition, a condition for the temporal and spatial organization of a reflection. This refers in the first instance to the mere listening and observing, but also to an intuitive sense for encounters with people, for their ways of dealing with the space within which they move and the things that surround them. This sense of perception permeates his entire work."

– Christa Blümlinger

“I like such things: Jeff [Perkins] invited me to a tour of New York at night in a taxi. As we were preparing to start off, he noticed that he had locked the keys in the car. Coincidence and imagination. My interest in filming is the opportunity to find a form, which is ‘otherwise than being, or beyond essence’ (as according to Emmanuel Lévinas). One does not see when seeing, what one does not see."

– Michael Pilz on FACTS FOR FICTION

“PARCO DELLE RIMEMBRANZE is a film which offers us the opportunity to reflect, to observe and to listen and thereby experience something that happens when we slowly close our eyes and expose ourselves, not yet asleep to dreams, to uncertainness and chance, to unwanted events.”

– Michael Pilz
