The question what is art and what ethnography is becoming obsolete. At the very latest when the camera comes into play. Artists explore different social formations, ways of acting, forms of knowledge and material cultures. Based on research, their work involves interviews and classical field research, for instance. On the other hand, ethnography is relying increasingly on sensual and visual practices \u2014 also with a view to art. For text-based forms of generating and imparting knowledge alone cannot adequately depict social reality. A shared field opens up at this border zone. It holds a potential \u2014 for explorations, experiments and reflections \u2014 that has not yet been exhausted.<\/p>\n
Artistic and ethnographic work finds a common field where the camera is no longer merely an instrument of research (ethnography) or a visual medium (art). Namely where photographic or cinematic images themselves become the sensory bearers of knowledge \u2014 knowledge that cannot easily be verbalised. Sometimes capturing plots or sequences of action with the camera requires technical precision. Sometimes fictional and documentary visual elements or objects begin to tell their own travel stories.<\/p>\n

Die Frage, was Kunst und was Ethnografie ist, wird obsolet. Sp\u00e4testens dann, wenn die Kamera ins Spiel kommt. K\u00fcnstler_innen besch\u00e4ftigen sich mit unterschiedlichen sozialen Formationen, Handlungsweisen, Wissensformen und materiellen Kulturen. Sie arbeiten recherchebasiert, etwa mit Interviews und klassischer Feldforschung. Andererseits setzt die Ethnografie heute zunehmend auf sensuelle und visuelle Praktiken \u2013 auch mit Blick auf die Kunst. Denn allein mit textbasierten Formen der Wissensgenerierung und -vermittlung l\u00e4sst sich soziale Realit\u00e4t nicht ad\u00e4quat abbilden. An dieser Grenzzone er\u00f6ffnet sich ein gemeinsames Feld. Es birgt das Potential f\u00fcr Erkundungen, Experimente und Reflexionen, das noch nicht ausgesch\u00f6pft ist.<\/p>\n
K\u00fcnstlerisches und ethnografisches Arbeiten findet dort ein gemeinsames Feld, wo die Kamera nicht l\u00e4nger nur Rechercheinstrument (Ethnografie) oder Bildmittel (Kunst) ist. Sondern dort wo fotografische oder filmische Bilder selbst zu sensuellen Tr\u00e4gern von Wissen werden \u2013 ein Wissen, das sich nicht ohne weiteres versprachlichen l\u00e4sst. Manchmal verlangt dann das Zeigen von Handlungsabl\u00e4ufen durch die Kamera technische Pr\u00e4zisionsarbeit. Manchmal \u00fcberlagern sich fiktionale und dokumentarische Bildelemente oder Objekte beginnen ihre eigenen Reisegeschichten zu erz\u00e4hlen.<\/p>\n
