    Coming from different worlds. An Interview with Zuza Krajewska

    'There’s a characteristic sense of self-consciousness when we look at things that are outside of our idealized world of perfection as it has been formulated by the media, where there’s little room for people’s true stories, their bodies, emotions, where showing your true self is often considered a sign of weakness. I like to make the viewer feeling a bit uncomfortable and observing their reaction.'

  38. Video Installation 'Moscow-NYC' by Naum Medovoy

    Video Installation 'Moscow-NYC' by Naum Medovoy

    We're excited to announce our screening of the video installation 'Moscow - NYC' by artist and filmmaker Naum Medovoy (b. 1937, Odessa), which was presented as part of  his exhibition 'The Last March' last year at the Moscow MOMA.
    Naum Medovoy (b. 1937, Odessa) is an artist and documentary filmmaker. He’s perhaps best known for his 1973 film 'The Missing' ('The Last March'), which combines World War II archival photographs and film from the Central Documentary Archive, located near Moscow, with his own 35mm footage to reveal the fate of Soviet soldiers in World War II, captured as prisoners of war. Soviet surrender codes at the time stipulated it was better to die than be held in enemy captivity, thus large swaths of servicemen in camps were deemed missing in action and left to die. When they did return to the USSR, they were considered traitors and sent to Gulag work camps. These men are considered something of a lost generation.
