Anne Imhof's 'Faust' at the 2017 Venice Biennale

Video by BAL Productions for Berlin Art Link Magazine
Berlin Art Link Productions filmed the opening preview of the German Pavilion this Spring in Venice.
German performance artist and choreographer Anne Imhof has been hailed over the last few years for her nightmarish durational performances, from last year's 'Angst' at Hamburger Bahnhof to her current piece 'Faust' at the Venice Biennale. 'Angst' came as the result of Imhof's 2015 Preis der Nationalgalerie win, while 'Faust' garnered the artist the Venice Biennale's most lauded achievement, the Golden Lion award.
Imhof combines various production strategies from sculpture, drawing, painting, video and performance in her work. In her recent performance pieces, she addresses the rituals and secret semiotic systems of niche communities, exploring the darker sides of idleness and anxiety in contemporary youth culture. Her immersive environments, often generating fear-inducing images or tableaus, have been well-documented in the press and social media, despite the relative exclusivity of the performances' live rendition. The 2017 Venice Biennale is ongoing until November 26th.

Can someone explain me what's going on?

[@jomoer]

pick one heavy reference (vivaldi, faust angst i.e. fear). cast young actors and discuss beforehand associative chains but leave space for the impredictibile. in the act let anyone do whatevwr they want, accompanied by untolerable music and enjoy artistic escapism. 5yrs later noone remembers... does that answer your question ?

@@melisushi7439 as we already found out, reality doesn't work this way lol. Ignorance is a privilege of those, who's whelsy mom and dad are orienting in objective reality instead of them - following what's going in political life, participating in adequate ecological initiatives, inventing economy tools to prevent our economy became a financial pyramid, based on demography. Ignorance is for those, who belive, that our planet is same endless as human "operative memory" to have capacity for trillions of people producing billions of shows like "skibidi toilets" to make sure everyone is stuffed and have no free resource to see what's actually going on in objective reality. For those, who live in illusions about reality and themselves. THE REST, PLEASE, SPEAK!!!! WE NEED TO START COMMUNICATE TO EACH OTHER TO FINALLY FIND SOME EFFECTIVE WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER AND FIX THE THINGS, IGNORANT PEOPLE THINK LITTLE FAIRIES WILL DO FOR US.

Вторичное наивное искусство. Не путать с "Наивным искусством". Ну чё, пристроили вы свою девочку? Чудо-талант, аж в "Гараже" хотели выставлять. Простите - это? Пристройте вашу дочь в другую сферу, пожалуйста, куда-то, где она будет не совсем бесполезна.
