La Villette (La Villette)
Streaming video - 2016
Only two months after the fall of the Berlin Wall, in January 1990, almost two hundred controversial East German visual and performance artists, including Jurgen Bottcher, the Autoperforation Artists, Via Lewandowsky, Trak Wendisch, Conny Hege, Klaus Killisch, Helga Paris and Hanns Schimansky, presented works rarely shown in the GDR at the exhibition space in the former La Villette slaughterhouses on the outskirts of Paris. The three-day exhibition, L'autre Allemagne hors les murs (The Other Germany Outside the Walls), was curated by East German art historian Christoph Tannert and French journalist Maurice Najman in France. In Kroske's documentation, historical footage from Georges Franju's 1949 film Le Sang des betes (Bloo...d of the Beasts) and texts from Les Chants de Maldorer (The Songs of Maldoror), by Comte de Lautreamont, blend to create a nuanced time capsule of this unique event.
