Work In Motion: on Migration, Mobility and Labour
"From The Red house program information"
Media art exhibition curated by Per Pegelow, following a concept of Etta Gerdes and Per Pegelow; curator of the commissions to the show - Yovo Panchev

The current change in global living conditions by new ways of communication and transport - often called globalization - is enabled by certain developments within the media. The view of this development with all its social and economic issues is represented by mass media in a way that leads to a phenomenon Jean Baudrillard calls "hyperreality", where the perception of mass media products starts to replace the independent view on the common reality. Baudrillard suggests that the "production of alternative media" is a way back to a clear and more independent perception of reality.
The media works of this exhibition do exactly this - (re-)producing a clear view on social lives within the European and North American nations in times of rapid "globalisation". The media art exhibition pools various artistic approaches in a pulsating art show.

In the programme: WorldWideWalks Sofia (Peter d'Agostino, United States, interactive installation), I.D. (George Alamidis, Greece, installation of 140 ID cards), In - Formation (Aufstellung) (Harun Farocki, Germany, video), Losers and Winners (Ulrike Franke and Michael Loeken, Germany, documentary film about the deconstrucktion of a coal factory), etc. With the special participation of Stanimir Genov and Vikenti Komitski. In partnership with The Red House the Interactive Arts e.V.

work on paper (under construction)

The starting point for these works is my digital collection of correspondence from the past. Letters, notes, stamps and envelops amidst other things.

I find the handwriting particularly interesting because my own lacks any of the refined qualities found in the collection. Visual tension is created between the personal message and the stamps and other approval signs. This visual tension becomes much more sinister when you note that the information contained has been checked and approved by a government sensor.
