"Immigrant Movement International": Nationalism and immigration in the gallery

when you are doing political work ambiguity is very dangerous how do you balance clarity with enough emotions with sufficient creative space and I don't believe this balance can be permanent it goes with what's happening around this is why I try to work in this idea of political timing a specific when I was invited at this time during the Olympics I thought it was very appropriate to talk about nationalism the title of the piece is surplus value and of course it's a Martha's concept and it works with idea of labor and value the piece has two moments at the beginning where you enter then you are told that you have to do AQ a line you have to wait people have wait i know somebody told me an hour 50 minutes 45 minutes when it's your time you go through a lie-detector it's an officer who actually works on that that's his job so once the person decide you can enter or not the space have you ever deliberately overstayed a visa have you ever been asked to leave a country for any reason no there is also a little detail which is the people who are in charge of taking care of the cue from the museum have the authorization to enter people randomly you can be lucky and we privilege in a way once you enter the space is a maximal maybe five six people out of time it is a reproduction of a historical object that was a stolen few years ago in the ashrai concentration camp there were four of the signs the first one was done in da house and it was done in 36 three years after the opening of the camp the camp was a labor first then concentration and extermination the B is inverted and it was a gesture the prisoner who made it did in purpose a very tiny rebellious moment where he wanted to make something imperfect were perfection was a rule and when perfection was the way to go officers were so arrogant they never saw this but the prisoners were seeing these as a little very small hope inside a museum you are competing against the history sation of your gesture and that is of extremely intense energy against you because you are already in a space that force you to make any statement before you even do anything which is this is art so in this case I feel that the gesture hobby has to be even stronger like people enter to museums a day understand there is a certain behavior that they have to have life is much more intense than anything you can see in a museum and things are happening in the streets that are really offensive what are these two eyes kind of bring that into a more secluded and in kind of a specific moment to think about it you
