What Is Dadascope About?
The premise of Dadascope without spoilers.
Free‑associative images collide with disorienting poetry in Richter’s late work, creating a visual fireworks display. Footage is turned upside‑down, reversed, and bathed in shifting shadows and light, while billiard balls, dice and balloons drift in surreal vignettes. Dada principles—games of chance, puns, wordplay and exuberant nonsense—assail the audience as Dada poems are read and performed by their original authors.
