We, We, We and We

Sven Bergelt

 

Video Installations and Performative Installations
--------------------------------------------------

at the Runde Ecke, Dittrichring 24

**Conceived by Sven Bergelt, Leipzig; supervised in collaboration with Juliane Jaschnow and Dieter Daniels; featuring artistic works by: Hana Hazem Arabi, Li Huhn, Dayoung Jung, Emanuel Aeneas Megersa/Michael Schlecht, Cajetan Scheliga-Atef, Asya Volodina (all Leipzig)**
***We, We, We and We***

Based on the slogan “Wir sind das Volk” (“We are the people”) and its reinterpretations and appropriations up to the present day, the works created under the motto *We, We, We and We* examined the “we” as a political act and assertion. Under the direction of Sven Bergelt, students of the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig developed artistic video works and performative installations. These engaged critically with the memory of the sense of togetherness of 1989, the question of the visibility of marginalised “we” groups, and the struggle of various groups for power and control. The students’ works formed a parcours of video screens and installations that offered Leipzig Festival of Lights visitors access to different forms of “we”.
