Romana Schmalisch

Uqbar - projectspace, Berlin

After the end of Romana Schmalisch's long-term Mobile Cinema tour, which brought her to more than 25 places, the artist now returns to the starting point of the project at uqbar projectspace (2008) with the mobile site-specific exhibition, Dom Kino (House of Cinema) as a part of her new series Mobile Exhibition.

While the Mobile Cinema – a foldable model of a table cinema – focused on mobility and the horizontal movement from one place to another, the exhibition Dom Kino can now be seen as a vertical movement between different, superimposed forms of models. In the centre of the exhibition stands an easily connectable tower that emits slide and film projections in several directions.

London tube trains from archive materials of the London Transport Museum speed through different time levels, combining aspects of the technical development of the underground railway system and the company's own film production and documentation department; a 6-hour, stomach-turning ride in a lift from floor 0 to 30 to the panorama platform and a rapid descent with a female lift-attendant and the artist and the camera runs vertically through the Palace of Culture in Warsaw; two slide carousels present moving, revolving houses, mobile cinema trains and various historical cinema theatres, juxtaposing different forms of cinematographic and architectural mobility, production and presentation.

Opening Thursday February 9 at 7 p.m.
