Description |
Exhibition catalogue: The Nordic Pavilion at the 51st Biennale di Venezia (2005). Matias Faldbackken's contribution to the 2005 Biennale consisted both of a video, shown on a plasma screen, and an artist's book Black Screen Book to accompany the Nordic Pavilion's catalogue. Faldbackken's video consists of a single shot in which the camera travels through a cinema whose screen has been replaced by a black rectangle, combining the traditional symbol for entertainment, the silver screen, with the key symbol for not belonging and for negation in the form of the black, anarchist flag. |
