Experience a multidiscipline art installation which deals with current issues in an interactive manner. Be prepared to engage in a conversation, to have the opportunity to learn about the importance of your contribution towards a healthy environment. Conglomeration of facts, quotes and visuals to stimulate your mind towards thinking sustainably.
Documentary Film makers Janine Stengel, Germany, and Beatriz Barragan Horn from Mexico will showcase the essence of their documentary efforts in a Gallery/Installation. With a filmography of 6 documentary films, including two feature length documentaries, the visual catalyst has been to combine the expertise of their programs: Visual Journalism and Video and Film Production, respectively. Reoccurring themes through these young artists work include: climate change, consumerism, waste and the power of the individual.
The exhibition has a definite multimedia approach towards communicating the sustainable message, including: video projections, large photographic prints, participation in art, performance art, interactive media, facts and quotes; the goal is to awake the audience’s desire to intervene in the fate of our common future.
Video projections will guide the viewer through a train of thought paced by the editing and juxtaposition of images which ultimately will evoke an instance for reflection about the viewers own consumption routine. Photographic prints will be encountered, both in large format and in small “photo stories.” Images will be supported by facts acquired through the documentary film making process.
The audience will be lead towards the concepts of waste, consumption, disposable- throw away culture, transportation/commuting and how our industrialized culture is affecting the food industry. Performance art will give a voice to all these complex social problems by providing a narrative monologue that relates directly with the facts displayed in the gallery. By making the familiar seem unfamiliar, the viewers will come to the realization that they themselves are responsible for taking action towards minimizing their impact on our environment.
EXHIBITION AND GALLERY EVENTS ARE FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
