Harun Farocki: In Comparison

Explore the brick-making process in Harun Farocki's film

Harun Farocki (1944-2014) was a pioneering filmmaker and theorist. He made more than 90 films ranging from experimental documentaries to large-scale installations. His work often explores themes of capitalism and technology.

See Farocki’s 61-minute film In Comparison at Tate Liverpool + RIBA North. It showcases the different traditions and methods of brick production across the world, including brick burning, brick carrying and bricklaying. It investigates the colours and sounds of different cultures through their literal building blocks.
