“The First World War trilogy, beginning with Prisoners of War (1995) and followed by On the Heights All Is Peace (1998), concludes with Oh! Man. The most monumental of the couple’s handcrafted found-footage films, Oh! Man feels like an extended proof of Godard’s Our Music’s assertion that those who come out of war alive are literally not the same people they were going in” (Kent Jones). For Forever…Forever, Johann Lurf developed a special 65mm camera to fix the gaze on a beautiful lake. A quiet observation of nature gradually transforms into a monumental image of cosmic motion.
