A moment of citizenship
Curator: Maria Ines Rodriguez
presents: Ruxandra Balaci
In her work Irina Botea tries to reinterpret the images of History produced by media, and to develop sympathy with the more or less active protagonists of historical situations to which our only access is now through the media.
This exhibition was part of the second edition of the annual Satellite programme in Jeu de Paume (Paris, june -september 2009), featuring two videos: Auditions for a Revolution (2006), and a new work, jointly produced by MNAC and Jeu de Paume, Before a National Anthem (2009), a bitterly ironic work devoted to the creation of a new Romanian national anthem.
