Tales of a Nomadic City
0 / 0 min
The exhibition is a palimpsest of material from the ongoing research-based project Tales of a Nomadic City by anthropologist and visual artist Christian Vium (March 14 - April 20).
Through a series of interrelated elements comprising a VR experience (made with Mauritanian filmmaker Med Lemine Rajel), archival film, new film recordings, photographs, sound, physical objects and printed publications, the exhibition provides a kaleidoscopic invitation to visit a unique, nomadic city, and asks questions regarding urbanisation, history, and archives. For two decades, Vium has been doing research in Nouakchott, the capital city of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania. For the first time, parts of this material, which has been exhibited world-wide, is exhibited in Denmark, coinciding with the CPH:DOX Film Festival, where the project is part of the CPH:LAB incubator 2023-2024.
