In the exhibition untranquil now, attention is focused on artworks, artefacts, performances, figures and events, that authorize complexity, in which bodies and modes of perception become the agents of contradictory states and troubled histories.
Nida Sinnokrot’s works Flight – Jalazone (2016), When Her Eyes Lifted (1998/2016), Ya Ghanamati (Billboard No. 02) (2014) and Exquisite Rotation (Fakir Fans) (2015) are included in the exhibition.
Sinnokrot’s work is informed by cinema, colonial history, narrative structures, and the politics of technology. Through tactical acts of technical and conceptual détournement, his work aims to subvert various technologies of control that give rise to shifting social, political, and geographic instabilities.
