EXQUISITE CORPSE/ BLACK DAHLIA, 2019/ 2020, VIDEO INSTALLATION
“Exquisite Corpse” is an artistic hypothesis built from an exuberant abundance of factual material and fiction. The starting point of the project deals with the real murder of starlet Elizabeth Short in Los Angeles, known as the “Black Dahlia.” Facts and fiction are negotiated in this work. The six days between her disappearance 70 years ago and the discovery of her body are fictionally reenacted. In addition, the project deals with power and violence in general. This, in turn, refers specifically to the political situation and the #MeToo movement in the USA.
Three locations are examined: the Millard House and Ennis House by Frank Lloyd Wright and his son's Sowden House in Los Angeles.
UOOORS
UOOORS /yORz/ is a collective of visual poly artists practicing one or more disciplines. Members share an interest in the transformational and accessible nature of photography. The group’s collaborative projects focus on parallel and multiple means of expression, unpredictable overlaps, and social practices. UOOORS was conceived and organized by Fatemeh Burnes and Mei Xian Qiu.
Die Möglichkeit einer Insel + Scharaun
The artist-run project space derived its name from Michel Houellebecq's 2005 science fiction novel with the same name and its actual location down at Inselstraße in Berlin Mitte. In a gutted Plattenbau, one of the very last erected in former GDR, exhibition projects compiled by various curators and artists are shown in loose sequence. This special venue in the very center of Berlin offers artists a possibility to experiment with space, architecture, and urbanism apart from an omnipresent art market pressure and its immanent force for product placement. Currently funded by Sentat für Kultur und Gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt.
