H-O-P-E

H-O-P-E is a participatory art project for the exhibition UNITED NATIONS
REVISITED, took place in Berlin in spring 2013 and in Wien in May 2015.

First Phase Digital

I am working on a new interactive video installation: H-O-P-E for the exhibition UNITED NATIONS REVISITED, takes place in Berlin in spring 2013.
H-O-P-E is inspired by a mural painting inside the UN Security Council conference hall in New York, painted in 1950 by the Norwegian artist Per Krogh. H-O-P-E  is produced while workshops, collective sessions, and public presentations worldwide, by people from most different cultural backgrounds. The project main idea is to “remix” the painting in short video loops. On the project websitewww.unitednationshope.de the first results of this ongoing project are presented. Short videoclips were produced by people from R.D. Congo, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, Germany, France, USA, Tahiti and Australia.
