Mos Stellarium Installation
Video installation, 4 x 6 minutes.
Mos Stellarium Installation is a video installation featuring
parts of the homonymous documentary, split into 4 projections.
The stories are shown simultaneously and connect different
parts of the world, thus creating links between unknown
destinies and ourselves.
Six young refugees talk about their escapes and trips, as well
as the new problems they encounter in Luxembourg.
Mos Stellarium is a poetic documentary about Dzemil, Milena,
Anna, Yunus, Rijad and Eko. In all intimacy, they tell their
stories as young refugees. Attached to the traveled landscapes
and all the encounters, the memories look back at these
strange journey and turn to the future. It is, in a way, the
human existence in a universal sense.
Like mysterious maps of constellations, their voyages began in
Afghanistan, Syria, Kosovo or Montenegro. They headed for
Europe, Luxembourg in particular, and their destinies turn
them into young adults by accident, but full of dignity
nonetheless.
Mos Stellarium has been selected for Liechtenstein's first
representation at the Venice Art Biennale 2015, a collateral
event entitled
The
Silver Lining.
Mos Stellarium Installation is composed of extracts of the
documentary Mos Stellarium. You can find more info on this
