To Walk A Line

mit KATARINA ZDJELAR

An immigrant tries to lose his accent; a person with no command of the English language transcribes a Tears for Fears song; Ghanian National Symphony Orchestra rehearses an adaptation of an originally Swahili composition, all attempting to sound right, almost but not quite succeeding. Katarina Zdjelar's short films focus on the mechanism of inclusion and exclusion, on colonial and self-colonizing mimesis as well as on individual self-realization with its paradoxes, promises and failures. For her solo show at ACADEMYSPACE she creates an installation that will change over time, setting the works of other artists into dialogue with her own. PETRIT HALILAJ’s filigree drawing represent birds in the process of becoming another, ÖZLEM ALTIN’s prints refer to the physical feeling of belonging and separation while AERNOUT MIK’s film Kitchen offers an ambiguous sense of interplay between power and ineffectiveness in ageing Western society.
