Our short video, The Fortune, is featured in Buitenplaats Doornburgh’s online exhibition Exodus in collaboration with the Biblical Museum.
Exodus
The exhibition Exodus, named after the collection of stories from the Bible, Torah, and Koran, is about “freedom and liberation, slavery, flight to ‘the promised land,’ leadership, identity, and trust”.
The Fortune lasts only 1 minute and is set on The Hague’s Malieveld, a political protest arena and festival site. Both elements play a role in the video. As does the ubiquitous digital and, at the same time, flawed representation of the world.
The Fortune was created for The One Minutes in 2018, curated by Quinsy Gario, with the theme Public Justice and was inspired by Kiza Magendane’s opinion article in NRC of December 2, 2017: ‘Our conscience must not stop at the border.’ (‘Ons geweten mag niet stoppen bij de grens.’)
The online exhibition also features work by:
