Summary/Abstract: Erhard Ertel focuses on the issue of perception in the context of the spectacle. The subject of his study is audiovisual theatrical documentation. Exploring a range of audiovisual concepts – such as those of Bertold Brecht and philosopher Ernst Mach – he considers the nature of the media representation of reality. Ertel explains the role of media interference in the staging process and the differences between human sensory perception and perception mediated by technology. He suggests that audiovisual theater performances are not an authentic testimony of reality, they are merely a mediated construct.
