History Restaged

History Restaged brings together artists whose practices address the need for critical thinking, and individual and collective responsibility. Employing strategies of staged reconstruction, reenactments, estrangement, humor and irony, the selected works use filmic, literary, archival and art historical references to revisit historically significant events and unsettle our conventional notions of reality.

Participants: Carlos Amorales (MX), Heidrun Holzfeind (A), Sven Johne (GER), Meiro Koizumi (JP), Susanne Kriemann (GER), Zbigniew Libera (PL), Maha Maamoun (EG), Roee Rosen (IL), Clemens von Wedemeyer (GER)
