Ατομική έκθεση Sammy Baloji «Echoes of History, Shadows of Progress»

Η ατομική έκθεση του Baloji που παρουσιάστηκε στο ΕΜΣΤ με τίτλο «Echoes of History, Shadows of Progress | Απόηχοι της ιστορίας, σκιές της προόδου» περιλαμβάνει εγκαταστάσεις, έργα βίντεο και φωτογραφικές σειρές από τα τελευταία δώδεκα χρόνια της καλλιτεχνικής δραστηριότητάς του, αλλά και το «Meandering» (2025), καινούριο έργο που είναι ανάθεση και παραγωγή του ΕΜΣΤ. Η έκθεση επικεντρώνεται στην καλλιτεχνική έρευνα του Baloji στην ιστορία, τη σύγχρονη πραγματικότητα και τις εγγενείς αντιφάσεις της συγκρότησης του Κονγκό. Τα έργα εξετάζουν τις αμφίδρομες σχέσεις μεταξύ της προ-αποικιακής Αυτοκρατορίας του Κονγκό και της Ευρώπης, καθώς και τις συνέπειες που είχε στη φύση και στον πολιτισμό η βίαιη εκμετάλλευση του λαού και των φυσικών πόρων που υπέστη η χώρα του υπό το βελγικό αποικιοκρατικό καθεστώς. Τέλος, στρέφει την προσοχή της στις σύγχρονες μορφές εκμετάλλευσης του ορυκτού πλούτου της περιοχής από τις μεγάλες εταιρίες και στην οικολογική καταστροφή που επιφέρουν. Επιμέλεια: Ιόλη Τζανετάκη.

For more than two decades, Baloji has been exploring the complex interplay of cultural identity, colonial history, and industrial exploitation within his homeland, the Democratic Republic of Congo. His work is an ongoing research on the cultural, architectural and industrial heritage of the contested and resource-rich region of Katanga (in the South East of the country), as well as critically examining the impact of Belgian colonisation. Baloji’s solo exhibition at EMΣΤ entitled Echoes of History, Shadows of Progress brings together installations, video works, and photographic series from the past twelve years of the artist’s practice, including a new commission. The exhibition highlights Baloji’s artistic research on the history, present-day reality and contradictions inherent in the formation of Congo. The works explore interactions between the pre-colonial Kongo empire and Europe, as well as the effects that the violent exploitation – of humans and resources – suffered by his country under Belgian colonial rule had on both nature and culture. Finally, it examines Katanga’s current forms of corporate resource extraction and the ecological destruction they cause. Curated by iOLi Tzanetaki. Read on: https://www.emst.gr/en/exhibitions-en...
