The first publication of INFERMENTAL-MAGAZINE
today has hardly lost its zest and intensity. Perhaps we could do
without a demonstration of experimental invention, a pure documentation
of a performance, or the trailer of a feature film which only uses
the pictures to illustrate a prefabricated world-view. But apart from
the fact that the thinking continues to come from below, the trust
in the power to copy from pictures (the tones, the “speech”)
something which they have in common, something of their own (new)
structure, remains fresh and inviting. The Odenbach and Bódy
of 1978 are also expressive today, even more expressive than at the
time of the “Conversation between East and West”. Because
the movement of information and the fermentation that was generated
by the INFERMENTAL-VIDEOS has in the mean – time gained energy
the movement has long since gone beyond the magazine.
(Dietrich Kuhlbrodt)
