Multimodal Work
Voyeur of Violence
I built a multimedia presentation in Canva exploring the films of German-Austrian director Michael Haneke, specifically how his work critiques the audience’s consumption of violence by making them complicit in it.
The presentation covers four of his films chronologically: Benny’s Video (1992), Funny Games (1997), The Piano Teacher (2001), and Caché (2005), using still images and embedded video clips alongside written analysis.This was the project I was most excited about all semester. Haneke’s films, especially The Piano Teacher, are some of my favorite works of art in any medium, and getting to write about them in a Writing and Rhetoric course using multimodal tools felt like a perfect intersection of my academic and personal interests.
