Photo Gallery Schlingensief at the Venice Biennale
German filmmaker and artist Christoph Schlingensief died before finishing his upcoming exhibition at the Venice Biennale, and preparation went on without him. But should a dead man represent the country? A preview removes all doubt: Only Schlingensief without Schlingensief reveals his true essence.
Schlingensief died in August 2010, shortly before his 50th birthday, in the midst of work on the Pavilion. Since then, heated debate has erupted over whether something so unprecedented should even be done -- devoting the entire German Pavilion in Venice to the work of a dead man.
