REALFilm is Lutz Dammbck's examination of film and filmmaking, a film in real time, a collage in space involving the audience. The media collages are part of the 'Heracles Concept', on which Lutz Dammbeck has been working since the early 1980s. As in an experimental arrangement, Dammbeck puts parts of the film, which he considers 'polluted' by ideology and commerce, into a symbolic bucket, washes these parts down to the basic building blocks of light - sound - movement, attempts their rebirth and then re-spells these primal elements. He reassembles and varies them and thinks about the possibilities of filmmaking between distance and fascination. Dammbeck designs a 'film cave' where film, painting, photography, dance, music and text, staged, projected and painted images unite to form streams of images; overlapping in space and mutually erasing each other. The attempt of a total film space. The recording of the performance on 14 May 1985 took place under 'conspiratorial' conditions and with a VHS camera.
