bankleer

Relating to the past function of the exhibition space as the former residence of the Prussian ministry of fi nance, the artist duo bankleer questions the role of contemporary fi nancial systems in shaping our lives. The largerthanlife heads of Angela Merkel (Chancellor of Germany), Mario Draghi (President of the European Central Bank) and Dutty Boukman (pioneer of the Haitian revolution of 1791) will interact with each other and the audience while moving through the exhibition space. As perpetrators and critics of exploitative systems operating today they will not only expose the disposition of capitalism for abstraction but moreover its fragmenting effects on the human mind and body.
