Triggered by observations in radio astronomy, scientists discovered extremely high-energy "quasi-stellar radio sources" - or quasars for short. How could this enormous amount of energy be explained, even though quasars are relatively small and far away? Einstein's general theory of relativity was a starting point with the possibility of exploding stars that collapse in a gravitational collapse and take surrounding matter and energy with them. The gravitational forces are so strong that even light can no longer escape. But how can we make the invisible measurable?

"A Guide to Sexual Dissatisfaction" is a somewhat different cinematic experience. Perhaps it shouldn't even be called a film in the traditional sense, because what happens here in the cinema demands more from the audience than passive consumption. For the "guide" to work and unfold its full effect, the audience must participate.
The film is both a representation of the installation elements (tiled mosaics of images projected on four walls and the ceiling of a gallery) and a record of the installation / performance, with footage of the installation in situ with Kluge seated within it reading out his texts. It's dedicated to Hans Richter and begins with an account of a 1975 meeting with the great experimental director, and goes on to reflect on the simultaneity of film history and the nature of art (the bond between epoch).
