The book Fuzzy Dark Spot accompanying the exhibition at Falckenberg Collection/Deichtorhallen Hamburg examines how video, as an artistic medium, interprets social and media irritations and manipulations. This refers to television, progressive movements by the counter-public during the 1970's, and the use of video as a surveillance medium, means of artistic narration, and psycho-social mirror or instrument of self-optimization in the digital present. The great influence of video images on our collective memory and consciousness in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries turns doubts about an image, discomfort with the established, and distrust of claims into important motives for artistic reflection. The title of the exhibition brings together these strands and describes a nebulous, fuzzy, obscure point, place, or state. The term "fuzzy dark spot" comes from an Internet forum where mold contaminating camera lenses is discussed. The exhibition, curated by Hamburg-based video artist Wolfgang Oelze in the context of the Falckenberg Collection, offers a comprehensive look at work by artists from Hamburg.

Before he retired in 2008, Friedrich Heubach was professor for psychology and pedagogy at the art academy in Dusseldorf. He edited INTERFUNKTIONEN from 1969 to 1971. Dirk Luckow (b. 1958) has been the General Director of the Deichtorhallen Hamburg since 2009. Thomas Macho is the director of the IFK international research center for cultural studies at the art university Linz and is laureate of the Aby Warburg Foundation Hamburg. Wolfgang Oelze is an artist and curator, who lives and works in Hamburg.
