Bibliografía

BERG, Stephan; et álii. Julian Rosefeldt: Film Works. Ostfildern: Hatje Cantz, 2008. "In the three-channel film installation Clown (2005), the absurd and slightly uncanny figure of a clown emerges from the impenetrable lushness of the Brazilian jungle. His red nose contrasts with the green forest. Starting from the right-hand side, he passes through all three screens, stumbling towards us, following a streamlet, before finally disappearing back into the jungle. As often in Rosefeldt´s work, this film´s protagonist is an uncommunicative, self -absorbed monad: a wanderer in a world he either does not understand or - caught up in activities required by the closed circuit of his solecistic, madcap logic - wishes to ignore. As the essence of absurdity, this film work can be read as a metaphor for modern man´s alienation from nature and an epilogue to Rosefeldt´s Trilogy of Failure (2004/2005)"..
