Marcel Odenbach’s work deals with the collective memory and the cultural reappraisal of the past. His media artwork „Im Schiffbruch nicht schwimmen können / Foundering and you can’t swim“ (2011) reflects on today’s migration crisis as a consequence of European colonialism and is part of the film program Encounters. Artistic perspectives on cinema at the Deutsches Theatermuseum.

In a conversation with Pietro Tondello (curatorial assistant of the Sammlung Goetz and co-curator of the exhibition), the artist will talk about his film and provide further insights into his work.

The artist talk is a part of Encounters. Artistic perspectives on cinema a cooperation of SAMMLUNG GOETZ with the Deutsches Theatermuseum in the context of the MUNICH FILM FESTIVAL. This special exhibition presents films by artists who explore aesthetic strategies of cinema. Through the use of innovative techniques and experimental narrative forms, the works on view offer a multi-layered reflection on film as a medium. So viewers can experience the full scope of artistic perspectives, an extensive, changing program has been created and will be shown in a specially designed cinema on the upper floor of the Deutsches Theatermuseum. A reading lounge in the foyer invites visitors to discover more about the exhibited artistic positions.
