Both compilation films bridge the threshold between avant-garde and documentary cinema and were enthusiastically received by audiences and film critics alike upon their release. To this day, these two closely related films occupy
a place of particular significance in the history of Austrian cinema, not least due to their subject matter and compositional virtuosity. </span><br class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 15px;">Kaiser took footage solely from the era of Nazi film production to make both films which each have a running time of just under 30 minutes. He constellated an evocative montage of image and sound from an abundance of excerpts gleaned from cultural, industrial and feature films as well as propagandistic Nazi newsreels and amateur movies from the 1930s and 1940s. A Third Reich and A Third Reich from Its Refuse are multifaceted compositions that derive from an analytical collision of image and sound metaphors. In brief, their conceptual critique equally serves as an attempt to illustrate and demolish the world of Nazi thought and imagery.

Die beiden Kompilationsfilme, an der Schnittstelle von Avantgarde- und Dokumentarfilmkino realisiert, wurden bei ihrem Erscheinen von Kritik und Publikum enthusiastisch aufgenommen. Bis heute besitzen die zwei eng miteinander verbundenen Filme, nicht zuletzt aufgrund ihres Sujets und ihrer kompositorischen Virtuosität, einen besonderen Stellenwert in der Geschichte
des österreichischen Films.<br class="">Für die beiden knapp halbstündigen Arbeiten verwendete Kaiser ausschließlich filmisches Material aus der Zeit der nationalsozialistischen Filmproduktion. Er kombinierte in beziehungsreichen Bild/Ton-Montagen eine Fülle von Ausschnitten aus Kultur-, Industrie- und Spielfilmen sowie propagandistischen NS-Wochenschauen und Amateuraufnahmen der 1930er und 1940er Jahre. Ein drittes Reich und Ein drittes Reich aus seinem Abfall sind vielschichtige Kompositionen, die auf die analytische Kollision von Bild- und Tonmetaphern setzen: Kurz gesagt sind sie in ihrer kritischen Konzeption gleichermaßen Veranschaulichung und Zerstörungsversuch des nazistischen Bilder- und Gedankenkosmos.

The title has several meanings, and alludes to the structural credo that underlies that artistic work of Friedl Kubelka, which begins with one single photograph and then places many further photographs alomgside it. This method is particularly impressive in her rarely seen self-portraits, which she has been making every five years since 1972. This new book speaks of the artist’s skeptical view of the single image, and also of an extended perspective that combines single portraits with double and multiple portraits.
