Image Movement

Berlin

Discovering that Cindy Sherman has a thing for cult horror flicks, including Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the Tobe Hooper original, not the cruddy remake) and Henry Portrait of Serial Killer, while Thomas Demand is partial to the music videos produced for ‘big beat’ duo The Chemical Brothers, is just one of the many joys of Image Movement, the high-concept DVD store within Sprüth Magers new Berlin gallery. Covering both art and art house, Image Movement carries the video and film work, across 600 titles, of artists such as Bill Viola, Matthew Barney, Douglas Gordon and William Wegman as well cinema high marks from Eisenstein and Chaplin to Bunuel and Cocteau. The ‘artists’ choice’ has the picks of - in addition to Sherman and Demand - Stephen Shore, Barbara Kruger and Fischli Weiss whose selection stretches from Mulholland Drive to Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill. There is also a wide selection of arts and architecture documentaries while curated programmes of artist’s work on film and video will be also be shown in the store. Image Movement’s stark interior, designed by the artist Rosemarie Trockel and Thea Djordjadze, even has a couple of cosyish viewing areas. Throw in a bucket of Minstrels and we’re in film-buff heaven.
