Embark on an electrifying journey through the creative lens of the inimitable auteur Karim Aïnouz, the Berlin-dwelling DAAD Artists-in-Berlin alumnus since 2004. With BLAST!, the DAAD Gallery beams viewers into the visual lexicon of a filmmaker celebrated for his rule-breaking forays into queer cinema, intricate human portraits, and the lyrical depiction of his Brazilian-Algerian roots.
Aïnouz weaves together the multiple strands of his creative DNA, amalgamating film, photography, and soul-stirring installations. BLAST! cracks open his kaleidoscopic vault of imagery, a testament to an artistic voyage marked by a fierce devotion to the power of the visual. Anchored in Aïnouz’s deeply personal visual cosmology, the exhibition is a siren call to contemplate the pulsating images that envelop us ceaselessly.
Celebrate the Unveiling: Kick-off with a Bang on Thursday 1st of February at 18:00
Vibrant Streaks from 2.2 to 10.3.2024
Join DAAD Gallery for a February fest of cinema at the fsk kino, orchestrating an anthology of Aïnouz’s cinematic reveries and critical musings on successive Sundays. Echoing the exhibit’s narrative crescendo, Distanz Verlag sets the stage with the BLAST! tome, a collector’s artifact in the making.
