THE SHIP OF FOOLS I 2007 I 07’23”
‘The Ship of Fools’ (2007) is a four-channel film installation set in Schloss Sacrow, a World Heritage site near Potsdam, which was used by a Nazi officer during world war two. It is this history that Rosefeldt builds on thus summoning the ghosts of the past and sparking off a host of political associations and issues regarding nationalism and national sentiment, which continue to resonate today.
JULIAN ROSEFELDT (DEU/°1965)
Rosefeldt produces visually arresting, cinematographically complex and technically immaculate video installations, which explore different narrative methodologies. His work is in major collections such as the MoMA, New York and Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, Vienna. This year he will have a solo exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Bonn.
