idealartspace.deWhy do we archive ourselves, our families and communities? What do these archives embody, what do they do with us? And what is their significance from a queerfeminist and intersectional perspective? On two film evenings, Kunstraum IDEAL presents cinematic works by artists united by an investigation of the potentials as well as limitations of non-institutional photo archives.
Personal photographs of past times do not always tell of a wistful loss, but of knowledge shared, as imitation, reproduction and creation. Any accumulation of documents can become three-dimensional through cinematic engagement, a place, a house. The films look beyond the emotional significance of named archives and ask how such places can be organized, not least to give access to others.
The film series is curated by June Drevet. With films by Anna Spanlang, Benjamin Busch & Sadia Sharmin, Cana Bilir-Meier, Liz Johnson Artur, Sky Hopinka, Vika Kirchenbauer.
