3hd 2026 - Beyond Imagining

As part of their festival "3hd 2026", Creamcake presents a video programme at the Berlinische Galerie. Called "Beyond Imagining", the festival confronts a world where the real and the invented bleed into each other, distorting what we see and inciting violence so extreme it defies belief, yet rarely earns more than a passing glance. It examines how images, words, and gestures acquire meaning and power, and invites viewers to critically examine familiar ways of thinking and social structures. The film programme, presented both here and online via 3hdTV explores the idea that looking on is never neutral. Four works by four artists set a single figure, real or invented, against a force beyond their control. The state. The crowd. The camera. The institution. Found footage and essay film, allegory and impersonation each trace what gets remembered and who bears the blame for forgetting.
