In the frame of the group exhibition Flucht in die Öffentlichkeit (literally: “escape into the public sphere”), curated by Magdalena Stöger and Leon Hösl, the GfZK hosts a presentation of the work of Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński. The multi-piece installation centres on her video work O.T., K. T. C. I. (2022), which was inspired by Brazilian writer and playwright Augusto Boal. In his “theatre of the oppressed”, Boal urged participants to actively change the prevailing social and political conditions. They are brought to realise the ways in which they internalise oppression, and how they might overcome the “police in one’s head”. In O.T., K. T. C. I., Kazeem-Kamiński presents the individual letters of the sentence “Kill the Cop Inside” in a gestural performative exercise.
In conversation with Tania Kolbe, Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński presents her work and artistic practice.
