Mona Vatamanu & Florin Tudor |
|
In their installation Long live an thrive capitalism! artists Mona Vatamanu & Florin Tudor
refer to the propaganda posters that every ex-Communist-country-citizen
does instantly recognize. While Communism/Socialism in the Eastern
countries claimed permanent victory over the “inferior” capitalism,
today the likes of Francis Fukuyama state an end of the history and it
happens that Vatamanu and Florin manage to easily denounce both with
their poster. The black-red Floor Drawing, which in its colors refers to the idea of anarchism is combined with the film Poem, that shows the production process of the aforementioned poster. 30 December 1926
features a cite from Walter Benjamins essay about his 1926 visit to
Moscow where Benjamin tries to understand and describe the
post-revolutionary situation in relation to the city.
