comunicato stampa

With Natasa Petresin

For the special screening by Nataša Petrešin within the e-flux project Video Rental at Kunst-Werke in Berlin, videos by The Otolith Group, Naeem Mohaiemen, Caecilia Tripp, Akram Zaatari, Jakup Ferri, Sislej Xhafa, Bjargey Ólafsdóttir and Polonca Lovsin, and excerpts from the video by Vlatka Horvat & Tim Etchells and from the documentary film by Igor Zupe will be shown. Slavoj Žižek describes late global capitalism as being already its own destruction, which is no longer self-centred stable system perturbed by interferences, but maintains itself as a precarious system through incessant self-revolutionising, where instability is its very strength. The screened works do not only directly intervene into their respective contexts and realities with the goal to change them, but in various ways question hegemonic ideological coordinates lying behind those contexts. They deal with the potential of either small scale interventions into the public sphere or ongoing socio-cultural phenomena that disturb and reconstitute the existing social and political relationships.
