German Weeks 2017
For the first time a whole pavilion of the Venice Biennale goes on tour. The exhibition FABRIK (Factory) raises the question what images might represent today. Refugees, disabled people through the neoliberal system, real and imaginary workers form closed or from a virtual factories, a political engaged video game developer and nameless occupants of rooftops looking for freedom, all these people are part of the exhibition, protagonists of a future living together in the 21st century.
What connects the works over is their exploration of the concept of participation, the individual’s shared involvement in social process and political representation. What room for manoeuvre does each one of us have in a world in which the Internet poses as a magnificent form of participation? What forms of protest and of reporting are there? What form will our images take in the future? These questions are raised in the works by Hito Steyerl, Tobias Zielony, Jasmina Metwaly and Philip Rizk, and Olaf Nicolai and will receive very different answers in the various places the exhibition will be shown in around the world.
