Intro
The leitmotif of the steirischen herbst – “Truth is concrete. And so is art?” – is actually reversed. The “real” world and its “real” politics are offset by the reality of artistic representations, along the lines of Jean-Luc Godard, who in 1967 asserted: “Art is not a reflection of reality. It’s the reality of a reflection.” Does this not mean that representation itself sometimes takes on the shape of reality?
