Kunstverein Braunschweig dedicates Eli Cortiñas’ extensive body of work the first institutional solo show in Germany.
The artist uses various heterogeneous sources to create her video and spatial installations. By appropriating, re-reading, and reassembling historical films, present-day TV shows, commercials, propaganda and educational films, or YouTube videos, Cortiñas brings together what only seems distant and reveals the production and consumption contexts inscribed in the images, as well as the patterns of perception within which they operate.
The exhibition brings together key works and presents installations created especially for the exhibition at Villa Salve Hospes.
