Cameraperson By Kirsten Johnson Screening and conversation Saturday, 18 June, 7pm A memoir of sorts, Cameraperson demands we think beyond documentary filmmaker and cinematographer Kirsten Johnson’s own extraordinary career and reflect upon our own status as observers, and the ethical and emotional responsibilities that come with it. The screening is organised as part of the exhibition The Wig and presented by Angharad Williams and Gianmaria Andreetta, followed by a remote conversation with Johnson. Following the event, you are warmly invited to a gathering at KURVE, a temporary bar in the glass pavilion and adjoining garden of Bonner Kunstverein.
