CAPTURING TIME - MAPPING THE MOMENT
... presents work of artists that try to capture, record or
reconstruct a certain moment, a space or an emotion. They look into
the relations and differences between human, machine or digital
memories; between a personal and a collective memory.
Installations, performances and concerts of artists with very
different backgrounds are presented side by side. There are several
threads running through the program and the exhibition. A part of the
selected works originates from objective and subjective data
collected by artists during their travels. They give places and
experiences a new spatiality, open for visitors to scan and explore
themselves.
Other works and performances analyze the power of media when it comes
to the representation of history and how we remember it. The main
focus lies on the impact on our perception of the world, of small and
big events. Artists deconstruct the very nature of television,
internet, film, and the cinematographic image. They investigate the
moment or the space that demarcates the boundary between an event and
its representation.
