When Venus takes a passage between the Earth and the Sun it is called “The Transit of Venus”. During this rare astrological phenomenon she appears as a black spot on the face of the Sun. As the morning star, Venus is also known by the name Lucifer, like the fallen angel that burnt his hand by trying to touch her soul.
Kunst ist Liebe. Liebe ist Nähe. Kino ist Spiegel der Gesellschaft. Gesellschaft schafft Kunst. Kunst schafft Bilder. Bilder sind Gesellschaft. Leinwand ist Abbild. Abbild ist Kunst. Film zeigt vierundzwanzig Bilder pro Sekunde. Model im Foto, im Film, jetzt gemalt von Visuman.

Berlin is a city where the freedom of expression on the streets is seen on the walls in the forms of graffiti, stencil works and stickers. Kreuzberg is a neighborhood that is dismissed for many years because of its proximity to the Berlin Wall, housing mostly bohemian and immigrant communities.Over the past couple decades, people have poured into Berlin, attracted by its relative affordability, cultural wealth and anything-goes spirit. But now the city is trying to regulate what has elsewhere proved to be unstoppable: gentrification.Once this process of gentrification starts in a district it goes on rapidly until all or most of the original working-class occupiers are displaced and the whole social character of the district is changed. www.oddviz.com
… .Ex’d…. Hong Kong media art
…ex’d… is a video platform of works created by Hong Kong artists using photography, video, sound art and text, and consciously straddling the realms of documentary witnessing and visceral response during one of the most critical periods in Hong Kong history. Individually, these deeply personal works articulate moments in the increasingly urgent trajectory of civic action in Hong Kong, from the Umbrella Movement of autumn 2014 to the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill (Anti-ELAB) protests that began in the summer of 2019.
…ex’d…seeks to open a window of understanding into the Hong Kong protest movements as processes of communication, mutual trust and support, as well as of protest and resistance. And at the same time, from within the new landscape of 2020 marked by the Covid-19 pandemic and political crackdown, to shed light on the stark reality of the wounding of the personal and collective landscape of Hong Kong as the voices raised in protest were ignored and resisted, and policies created to ultimately silence them. What yesterday was legal and tolerated, today is criminalized overnight.
Ex-pressed, ex-posed, ex-cised, ex-pelled, exed-out…
The artists of …ex’d… have chosen to erase their own names in an inverse gesture of protest. Let the works speak for themselves.
