Based on first excerpts from her latest video work (still in progress), THIS IS POOR! Patterns of poverty, Kerstin Honeit will talk about architectures of storage and the recurring topics in her artistic research: work, voice, and gestures of drag.
In her videos, Honeit addresses, among other things, architecture as a storage medium for various hegemonic constructions. In this respect, my castle your castle (2017) depicts the construction site of the Berlin City Palace—which was re-erected on the foundation of the demolished Palace of the Republic (the parliament building the East Germany)—as a stage. The video uses the example and background of the controversial project to formulate questions about the social architectures behind the spaces and their historical invocations. In Honeit’s work [ˈzi:lo]5 (2019), Montréal’s gigantic silo complex is the starting point for reflections on the politics of preservation, which are staged in the video. A critical voice-over chorus narrates through different types of storage sites with their collections and accumulations, which, upon closer inspection, reveal themselves to be agglomerations of voids and omissions.
This event is part of the event series REMEMBER, PERFORM, FORGET: Binding Space Through Utopia, presented from August 16 to 27, 2023 by PHI Foundation. Complete program.
Kerstin HOneit
Kerstin Honeit is a Berlin artist who works with experimental documentary moving image formats. In her videos, she researches mechanisms of representation within hegemonic visual worlds and, above all, cultural and linguistic modes of translation in cinematography. Her focus is on the politics of the (film) voice and, in particular, on how the voice, as a queering event between moving images, can shake up the gaze regimes of the dominant culture. Last year, against the background of Honeit’s moving-image-practice, the monograph Kerstin Honeit. Voice Works / Voice Strikes was published by b_books. Honeit has taught at various art colleges and currently shares a professorship with Candice Breitz at University of Arts Braunschweig. Her work is regularly presented internationally at film festivals and exhibitions, including: Whitechapel Gallery, London; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; CAC, Quito; Fajr International Film Festival, Tehran; n.b.k., Berlin; Off Biennale Cairo; International Short Film Festival São Paulo; Videoart at Midnight, Berlin; MMOMA, Moscow; Schwules Museum, Berlin; HKW, Berlin; International Short Film Festival, Oberhausen; Gallery 400, Chicago; Arsenal – Institute for Film and Video Art, Berlin; BFI London; MCAD, Manila.
