Screen Walk with Anna Ehrenstein
About this film
Travelling in the time of coronavirus can be complicated and it’s been a while since “where should I travel to next?” has felt like a question within reach. Dream no further, artist Anna Ehrenstein will take you to the orientalist lands of Tripadvisor, Airbnb and Turbosquid to look at the ways these platforms and the images they reproduce, distribute and rank the algorithmic perpetuation of ways the Other is formed today. Screen Walks is a new series of live-streamed artist/researcher-led explorations of online spaces and artistic strategies designed to illuminate a thriving – often overlooked – digital cultural scene. A new online collaboration between The Photographers’ Gallery , UK and Fotomuseum Winterthur , Switzerland. Based on an introduction to her work cycle “A Lotus Is A Lotus” we will examine how phenomena like generalization, exotification or a patronizing perspective towards a cultural group are embodied and become a corporeal quality. Keep your login data handy, it’s time to visit an imagined Orient, Gizeh and the British Museum.
