How do images make social and political realities tangible? What kind of knowledge do they convey? And how do they actively participate in shaping the realities they depict? The exhibition It’s not about nothing presents film and photographic works that employ documentary strategies to probe the limits of the visible. The featured artists lead us to a variety of settings: a Nazi fortress in the south of France or a tomato plantation in Apulia, a prefabricated housing estate in Halle or the interior of the Statue of Liberty in New York, a publishing house in Sarajevo, or a square in Bratislava. In these works, the artists reflect on war and exile, the persistence of history in the present, systems of order and media events, struggles for visibility, and moments of powerlessness and solidarity. Join curator Franciska Zólyomon a tour of the exhibition.
