Fluentum

The Fluentum collection, founded in 2010 by Markus Hannebauer, purchases, archives, and maintains select works of time-based art. Its holdings currently include works by more than sixty artists, representing a range of methods, strategies, and manifestations related to the moving image—from documentary approaches to works immersed in realism to associative experimental films, conceptual video works, and feature-length films. A common thread running through many of the collection’s works is an interest in considering historical material within a contemporary social context and the question of media’s transformation of storytelling. A selection of the works is presented as part of Fluentum’s exhibition program. Upon request, the works in the collection are also made available for external exhibitions and research.
