The film This Year’s Girl shows the fictional collective images of / off images at their work as a commissioned team of photographers and filmmakers for the Austrian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2019. The collective – the filmmakers themselves – become observers of their observations. From a kaleidoscopically nested perspective, the film shows how blurred the boundaries are between commissioned and freelance art, documentation and fiction, working time and private time, the sense of belonging and not belonging, and collaboration and individual work.
