| art.description.project | Potemkin Village is a 16mm film and installation loop. It’s title derives from a notion in politics and economics covering any construction (literal or figurative) built solely to deceive others into thinking that a situation is better than it really is.
As a film loop and installation Potemkin village dwells on the relationship between spatial and temporal construction of an image.
The piece was shown in relation to the 16mm film Composite/ De-Composited (2015). This film juxtaposes picturesque visions of authenticity in urban space with narratives of the High Arctic and the 20th century phantasmagoric medium of film. The short 16mm film is shot at a construction site in Brussels characterized by facadisme. In architecture, this is when a building is demolished and rebuilt from within while the exterior of the building is preserved. The film recording is merged with an account of mine extraction in mountain formations on Svalbard, and together the two elements form the story of creating an image: The film subtly addresses the relationship between planetary raw material and the landscape-as-image. Or, the relationship between the façade as raw material and the city as scenery. | sv |
