transmediale presents the third and final part of its film programme remote. response. request. and REUSE >> REFUSE, a new collaborative project with Akademie Schloss Solitude x NTS Radio x depart.one.
The third in a series of film-based exhibitions, remote. response. request. III. asks: what right of reply should the spectator expect from the filmic image? Installed at transmediale studio from 15 September, the programme features the work of two artists, Chloé Galibert-Laîné and Katerina Suvorova.
Through a series of sculptural installations, Chloé Galibert-Laîné explores the construction of spectacle within filmic images in order to equip the spectator with new ways to resist and refuse their power, through the tactics of reverse engineering. Two recent films by Galibert-Laîné accompany and expand upon the installations. A Very Long Exposure Time looks at the history of image capturing technologies and the realities they present. Forensickness is a performance-based exploration of the history of critical thinking and the ruthless politics of truth production.
For remote. response. request. III. a film of Katerina Suvorova in conversation with fellow activist and writer Moldiyar Yergebekov, Heads May Roll, focuses on the ongoing political oppression, systemic gender discrimination and colonialism’s continuing legacies in the ex-Soviet state Kazakhstan through the lens of Suvorova’s forthcoming films One Year Chronicles and Qyz Bolsyn (May It Be A Girl).
transmediale in collaboration with Akademie Schloss Solitude x NTS x depart.one, presents REUSE >> REFUSE exploring the connections between sound and refusal.
Four artists - Lamin Fofana, Moor Mother, KMRU and Sarvenaz Mostofey - were commissioned to produce new work for the series and were invited to activate the disregarded, the unproductive, and the leftover in order to assert the value of that which is often seen as waste.
REUSE >> REFUSE will be released by transmediale's Almanac for Refusal and NTS Radio on 21 September 2021.
