Marcel Odenbach’s work deals with the collective memory and the cultural reappraisal of the past. His media artwork „Im Schiffbruch nicht schwimmen können / Foundering and you can’t swim“ (2011) reflects on today’s migration crisis as a consequence of European colonialism and is part of the film program Encounters. Artistic perspectives on cinema at the Deutsches Theatermuseum.
In a conversation with Pietro Tondello (curatorial assistant of the Sammlung Goetz and co-curator of the exhibition), the artist will talk about his film and provide further insights into his work.
The artist talk is a part of Encounters. Artistic perspectives on cinema a cooperation of SAMMLUNG GOETZ with the Deutsches Theatermuseum in the context of the MUNICH FILM FESTIVAL. This special exhibition presents films by artists who explore aesthetic strategies of cinema.
