Re:publica Berlin, 2024
The project reflects on the role and responsibility of artists in contemporary art production and attempts to initiate perspective-rich viewpoints in current democratic discourses in art and cultural spheres. It includes an immersive virtual space featuring the short film “Due to a burning wave” by Ukrainian artist Daria Lytvynenko, alongside a to-scale 3D model of the explosion in the port of Beirut (freely provided by Forensic Architecture). The project incorporates a work that reflects on the ongoing genocide and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, providing a critical perspective on this current war. The works contained in the mobile evolved from experiences gained during a community development project in Lebanon in 2022, in which the contributing artists were involved. Through these diverse elements, the project aims to engage viewers with multiple global issues and their interconnections.
