Il titolo della mostra è "Artificial Identities", tema che passa perfettamente con la Europa classe.
In classe abbiamo discusso e approfondito il tema identità, chi siamo, cosa ci caratterizza, da dove veniamo.
Tutti questi pensieri poi li abbiamo espressi dividendoci in diversi gruppi: fotografia, pittura e video.
Abbiamo creato quadri su tela, flicker books, foto del cibo preferito o dal tema "assaggiando la Germania", abbiamo creato 3 video e raccolto interviste.
Nelle scorse settimane abbiamo poi allestito la nostra esposizione nella "DreiGiebelHaus", un edificio rinomato nel cuore di Xanten.
Qui vi allego il discorso di apertura della mostra tenutosi in inglese da Nina
"ARTIFICIAL IDENTITIES" is the title of the exhibition
which we celebrate today in the gallery of the Dreigiebelhaus in Xanten ...
You, the visitors, who can visit this exhibition till March 19th,
you are able to familiarize yourself with multiple symbolic meanings of
identity through a variety of different types of art, and during today’s opening
show the artists will be open for all your questions.
In order to show you the most direct significance of this
word in general, but also in the life of the common man, we, the artists of the
exhibition and the students of the European class in the Stifts- Gymnasium
Xanten, took a typology that clearly defines and shows it.
Whereas some works shown are still lives, visitors also have the
opportunity to witness the notion of '' identity '' seen in the videos. These
are a performance made by German and foreign artists who have made it possible
to vividly display some aspects of conflicting identities. The other video is a
mash-up of artists’ dancing performances made by Martina Cavallanti.
Why is our exhibition special?
We are a group of students from 7 countries, Germany, Palestine,
Turkey, USA, Italy, Spain and Montenegro, which, with the help of the art teacher,
Fabian Bohlmann and strong will managed to explain and demonstrate a different
notion of identity. At first, this is a very simple word, but if we delve
deeper, it suddenly gets difficult to define it. What makes me, me? Who am I? Is
‘I’ or ‘am I’ a fixed entity, someone definable as one yesterday, today
tomorrow? Or do we only struggle permanently to create the illusion of
difference, singularity and independence? These questions have led us through
all this. They managed to initiate our imagination and create a mountain of
ideas from which we dug up this kind of exhibition. You possibly will not
understand it completely because these here are very personal viewpoints of
different cultures, habits and food from our countries. This here is where all
our ‘’we’’ is. And that '' we '' the artists, want to share and are sharing
today with you.
