《图像研究》是一部桌面录屏作品，一幅罗兰·巴特抽烟的照片窗口缩小后，旋即弹出的窗口中是一段由电脑的前置摄像头所拍摄下的卷烟教学视频。与“如何去卷一根完美的香烟”同时出现在电脑桌面上的，是“如何去制作一副完美的图像，在这个窗口中，艺术家挪用了不同影像中的“教学片段”：从 Youtube上的 Photoshop教学，到哈伦・法罗基所拍摄下的《花花公子》杂志封面的制作过程，再到电影《放大》中商业影棚的拍摄场景……与这些不同的“如何去……”所对应的，是艺术家本人在作品中所做出的声明：“我，除非在万不得已的情况下，才会使用摄影机”，他的意思大概是在景观社会永远在场的现今，我们已无需生产出更多新的图像去制作一部影片。（OCAT 上海馆）

克里夫·欧文饰演一名作家，其创作遇到到瓶颈，江郎才尽，而朱丽叶·比诺什饰演一名画家，同样郁郁不得志，两个人在一所学校里相逢了。分别教写作与绘画的他们展开了一场关于文字和图画谁更有力量的辩论之战。然而在针锋相对的背后，一段不同寻常的恋情也正在酝酿。

“Essay, a term from written literature: unity of science and art; unity of social and individual knowledge,” Harun Farocki wrote in a first draft of the project Erzählen. The film follows two people (played by Engström and Farocki) investigating their respective subjects: one is tracing the involvement of the German heavy industry in the rise of Nazi-Germany, the other is interested in the fate of Larissa Reissner, a young Soviet writer and revolutionary. Both of them struggle with the question of how to organize their research and find a narrative structure. Their paths cross, and the film turns into an essayistic interrogation of structuralist narratology.

A montage of still and moving images, mixing and alternating black people and white people, fantasy and reality, a presidential suite and a mother’s kitchen: a sensitive, poetic evocation in the manner of the film-maker’s Remembrance. Brilliantly colored and nostalgic, it comprises a magical transformation of painterly collage and still photographic sensibility into filmic time and space.
