Join us at Straße55 for a cosy video art evening on 23.09.18, where 13 video works by International and Berlin based artists will be shown.
About
Each artist will present their own approach towards body, self and identity - their own way of communication and their own world of vision, belief and exploration of internal and external influences. All video works confront or question body in various ways, whether unraveling body in movement, abstraction, satirical commentary, found footage, psyche, exploring behavioural structures, trauma, word play, performance, research, self-experimentation, character play or other worldly creatures.The video works will offer and mediate their own access to the world and how it reflects onto representation of self, body or identity.
How can self be uncovered through character embodiment? How to change the narrative of beauty advertising campaigns? How can colonial narratives be re-written? How to be unstuck from your body? What can be new possibilities to talk about body? How do we embody emotions? Whose voice is heard, whose voice is speaking? What is the role of representation in relation to moving image?
