Anna & The Jester in Window of Opportunity 2019
17mn
Commissioned by Jeu de Paume, CAPC musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux, Museo Amparo.
In the frame of The New Sanctuary, a proposal by Laura Herman
In her animated film Anna & the Jester in Window of Opportunity (2019), Julie Béna relates the curious encounter between a series of characters both existing and imagined. A critique of the concept of transparency current in architecture and society, this exhibition has been conceived as a series of real and virtual layers, which create a space of opacity and indeterminacy. This publication explores the principles and ideas that underpin these works through a conversation between Julie Béna and Laura Herman, together with an essay by Irene Sunwoo, an architectural historian and exhibition curator.
