JUNE 2012

BOULEVARD d’YPRES + THE WAVE (film+ photo wall) by Sarah Vanagt and Katrien Vermeire at the Sydney Biennale, 27 June – 16 September 2012. In The Wave the archaeological gaze of the viewer is set in motion: a mass grave from the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) opens and closes itself. In 2011 we placed a camera above the spot where nine victims were buried after their execution by Franco’s supporters in June 1939. On day one of the excavation, a digging crane gently loosened the top layer of soil, until the archaeologists came across a skull with a bullet hole. Then the archaeologists continued their work by hand. The skeletons appeared, then disappeared, as if a strong wind blew that removed the sand and uncovered death, a primal truth.

SARAH VANAGT: SCREENING + LECTURE at Humboldt University, Berlin (side program of the exhibition) 06.06.2012, 18h, Filmvorführung Sarah Vanagt: Boulevard d’Ypres (2010) mit anschließender Diskussion in Anwesenheit der Regisseurin, more

FEBRUARY 2012

Wild Dogs of Sarajevo by Lasse Lau & Ivalo Frank in exhibition at FOKUS videokunstfestival 2012 @ Kunsthallen Nikolaj 9. february – 26. february. The film takes the viewer back to the street that some remember as Sniper Avenue. While houses pass in our distant travel through the city, the film investigates how visitors attempt understand war by investigating and romanticizing surfaces and fractures of the loss. The film occurs through a  visual distant contrast of those who experienced the war through the media in juxtaposition to those who experienced the war on their body. It helps raise questions on war tourism and seeks to reveal some post-colonial elements with the presence of the international community by large.

The film in addition documents the atmosphere in one of the must classic and visually dense and unique museums in the world before it becomes history.
