Sven Augustijnen
Spectres
The Belgian artist Sven Augustijnen is well known for his films. His most recent feature-length documentary Spectres (2011) provides a critical portrayal of Belgium’s colonial past in the Congo based on cultural and historical analysis.
Dave Hullfish Bailey
Broken Country
In Dave Hullfish Bailey’s complex installations, he incorporates everything from photography, film, words, sand, grass and grain to drawings and readymade objects. A turning point in his practice is architecture, especially modernist architecture, and alternative ways of using and creating utopian living structures.
Alfredo Jaar
The Sound of Silence
Alfredo Jaar addresses issues associated with how we view the world. The series of works presented at Malmö Konsthall focus on what the artist calls “the politics of images.” The exhibition presents four works: The Sound of Silence, Searching for Africa in LIFE, From TIME to TIME and Untitled (Newsweek).
The exhibitions are part of Fotografi i Fokus, the South Sweden Photography Biennial.
