MQ Artist-in-Residence Naomi van Niekerk: The free space inside

MQ Artist-in-Residence Naomi van Niekerk
The free space inside
Presentation & Filmscreening: Fri 23.08.2024, 19.30h | MQ Raum D

In a small, dark room, a dog barks, a glass falls over and a bird lands on a barbed wire fence. Behind a curtain, observed only by the camera, layers of thoughts are created in black and white on an animation table. This is the animation filmmaker's private stage, a secluded space in which movement and time are freely manipulated.
The films shown were made with fine black sand, which was photographed on a light table with fingers, brushes and porcupine quills. On Friday 23 August at 7.30 pm, the current MQ artist-in-residence Naomi van Niekerk will present her exhibition and a selection of her films in person at MQ Raum D.
