Retrospective

Rutt Deen / (Calcutta) GO

FromHans Scheugl

WithWalter Sachers, Claudia Martini,

Year1993

Duration69min.

LanguageGerman

Two hotels, one called Bellevue, the other Rutt Deen, one in Vienna, the other in Calcutta (now Kolkata). Rutt Deen is the English spelling of the Hindi words Rat Din, which mean night and day. "The leap between the continents is as vast as that between dream and waking, between night and day, and yet a reality belongs to the constantly recurring images of memory. India: that is hyperreality, measured against the comfort of the world familiar to us. The figure of the photographer serves Scheugl as an interface where the two worlds—Vienna and Calcutta—break apart, making him a stranger in both."

(Peter Tscherkassky, 1993)

The title (CALCUTTA) GO reveals the pull of movement.

(Dietmar Schwärzler)
