Video, 00:09:00.
Materials: 1-channel video, sound

Collection: Collection MHKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. S0546_02).

Motherland rises beyond the typical perception of ideologically burdened monuments such as those from the Soviet era. It aims at discovering a human story, understanding the personal behind the absolute and releasing the tension between our past and present. The video was filmed at the Soviet Memorial in Treptower Park, Berlin.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
