グッゲンハイム美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (グッゲンハイム美術館Instagram)「Recent acquisition to the #GuggenheimCollection: John Akomfrah (@smoking_dogs_films), “The Vertigo Sea” (2015) __ “In John Akomfrah’s panoramic, three-channel projection ‘The Vertigo Sea,’ the artist assembles what he calls ‘oblique tales on the aquatic sublime,’ composing a poignant and at times gut-wrenching essay on humanity’s use and abuse of the ocean. Inspired by a 2007 account of Nigerian refugees who were stranded in the Mediterranean for ten days trying to reach Europe, ‘The Vertigo Sea’ weaves together narratives of forced migration and other forms of seaborne exploitation through a mix of historical footage, staged scenes of actors in period costume, and passages drawn from the BBC Natural History Unit archives. Together with the work’s immersive soundtrack, this installation explores today’s social, political, and environmental crises.”—Nat Trotman, Curator, Performance and Media (@smoke_and_mirrors) __ Credit: Purchased with funds contributed by the International Director’s Council and co-owned with @sfmoma and @mcachicago #Guggenheim #JohnAkomfrah」5月17日 1時45分
