Video Art
at the
Intersection
of Past
and
Future
The city of Rome was and continues to be a source of great European longing. How can an artistic journey to the “eternal city” be conceived today? In light of today’s global challenges, what spaces of action and imagination can be explored in the process?
On the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, the class for film and video between Düsseldorf and Rome is working on the multi-part exhibition project “ROM. ROM? ROM!”, which will run throughout the year. By intersecting with the past, important perspectives for the present and the future are revealed. At different locations, using various artistic forms and media, individually and/or in groups, the students deal with the topics touched upon in the project.
The students work in different places, using various artistic forms and media, individually and/or in groups. The exhibition is being developed in cooperation with the asphalt Festival for its new venue 34OST and is shown there.
The class for film and video at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf has been led by artist and professor Danica Dakić since October 2022.
