3 CHANNEL VIDEO, 8 SCREENS
MOMus-Museum of Contemporary Art-Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art and State Museum of Contemporary Art Collections
Curator: Syrago Tsiara
Maria Zervos works consistently for years now having as a center the philosophical and existential dimensions of walking. In her new work entitled The Camp, which is being presented for the first time here at the MOMus-Museum of Contemporary Art, walking as a life choice is connected with memory evocation and identity formulation. The person who inspired the artist is Svetlana Boym (1959-2015), author and comparative literature professor at Harvard University, with whom Zervos was closely related during her own study and teaching at the same academic institution. Common experiences and research interests between the two of them drove Zervos to film a path of memor y reformulation and searching for repressed moments in Boym’s past, inside a refugee camp outside Vienna, where the latter stayed in 1981 during her immigration from her homeland, Leningrad, during the Soviet Union era, to Boston, USA. The exhibition is presented with the support of NEON Organization for Culture and Development.
