The impressive film, which depicts how people react in times of crisis and how they can show solidarity in the face of difficulties, takes place in a famous opera house in Vienna. In the middle of the night, the building is suddenly shaken by a fire outbreak, causing some people to panic and flee while others are trapped inside. A wealthy businessman, a young opera singer, a chef, and opera-goers are forced to fight together amidst the fire. However, this disaster becomes more than just a physical threat; it evolves into an adventure that reveals the characters' internal conflicts.
In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
Having penetrated the Balkans in the fourteenth century, conquered Constantinople in the fifteenth, and reached the gates of Vienna in the sixteenth, the Ottoman Empire long struck fear into European hearts.
Pera Museum’s Cold Front from the Balkans exhibition curated by Ali Akay and Alenka Gregorič brings together contemporary artists from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia.
