A Film Program Curated by Dina Yakerson and Gili Zaidman
25.4.14 Museum Bärengasse, Zurich, Switzerland
Tales and memories passed on between us by means of social codes, body
gestures, insignificant details and myths – all part of a cultural heritage which
inevitably shapes our self identity. Using documentation, interviews and digital
manipulation, different artists take the role of an anthropologist, an “outsider”-
penetrating and re-interpreting historical events and the affirmation of cultural
attributes. This is an opportunity to examine myths, rituals, stereotypes and
the inner paradoxes they implement.
