NOTHING VENTURED

NOTHING VENTURED (NICHT OHNE RISIKO), 2004
Germany | DVD, Color, 50' | German
Director: Harun Farocki

A medium scale company and a large venture capital firm start negotiations. A loan is needed to start mass production of a technical invention. Farocki contents himself with observing rather than commenting and records the bilateral meetings until an agreement is reached. Farocki’s work can be seen as a microscopic look at one cell of today’s economy; an ethnography of everyday economy.
