Imaginary Explosions, episode 2, Chaitén (2019) has its international premiere as an installation in the Forum Expanded exhibition at the 70th edition of the Berlinale.
The new decade begins at a time which has produced a great deal of speechlessness and thus a need for ever clearer words to be found. How does such a present change the curatorial gaze? What is the role of cinema and art? 39 installations and films are dedicated to such themes as migration, racism, sexism, state violence, capitalism, colonialism, extractivism, the climate crisis, fears of the future, the loss of history and more. But above all, they also refer to themselves as being part of the wider structure from which they emerged.
Curator: Stefanie Schulte Strathaus (section head), Anselm Franke (co-founder), Maha Maamoun and Ulrich Ziemons
