Arkadi Zaides

NECROPOLIS

Performance | Work in Progress | Followed by Artist Talk
English, with English subtitles

Duration Performance | Work in Progress approx. 45min

With “NECROPOLIS”, translating from Greek to “city of the dead”, independent choreographer Arkadi Zaides and his team of researchers document the deaths of paperless migrants and asylum seekers that did not manage to reach their final destinations in Europe, alive. After having visited hundreds of graves in various locations, including Berlin, Zaides constructs a growing archive of bodies which have as of yet been left unnoticed. In this online iteration of “NECROPOLIS”, the artistic team will guide the spectators through the project's accumulating virtual database.

From the Magazin im August: “Bodies as Evidence: Arkadi Zaides on his research, people on the move, and brutally closed borders”, Interview by Sandra Noeth

Artist Talk | Arkadi Zaides, Emma Gioia, Igor Dobričić, Virve Sutinen
