  BARE LIVES mit Mario Rizzi und Solvej Helweg Ovesen und weiteren Gesprächst
 eilnehmer*innen___________Within the frame of this year?s exhibition progr
 am UP (Unsustainable Privileges) the exhibition BARE LIVES focuses on the 
 Arab uprisings and on how they have radically altered the geopolitics of t
 he region.However the Italian-born Berlin-based artist and filmmaker Mario
  Rizzi chooses a personal and privileged viewpoint: the role of the woman 
 in the family and the changing Islamic society. Women have been taking par
 t at the forefront of the region's revolutions since the early days of the
  so-called Arab Spring. Rizzi's works opt for the generally disregarded im
 pact on the bare life of unknown people in this context.Together with the 
 films »Kauther« (2014) and »Al Intithar« (Das Warten) (2013)\, the exhibition 
 presents the series of photographic portraits »August 3rd« (2016) and the 80
 -image slideshow »Bare Lives« (2017). These images raise questions about the
  reception of refugees in western societies like Berlin and remind of our 
 communal responsibilities towards those in need of a new normality and aga
 inst media-instigated fears or spectacle. Rizzi's intimate approach to the
  theme of bare life suggests that art can create social change through mea
 ns of poetry and instate human values.Mario Rizzi has often worked with in
 dividuals living on the edge of society\, excluded by the law and from pro
 tection by the state. Over the last 25 years\, he has developed a practice
  of interacting with internally displaced people\, refugees\, and activist
 s living in places where the state of exception has become normality. He h
 as spent many years working in refugee camps (Bosnia\, Palestine\, Jordan\
 , Iraqi Kurdistan\, the Netherlands\, Italy\, and Greece).»Bare life« as a c
 oncept (conceived by Giorgio Agamben in his book »Homo Sacer« from 1995) ref
 ers to a body\, a human being\, who exists outside of politics and the law
 \, outside protection\, who can be killed by anyone without legal repercus
 sions. »Bare life« is a life not politically defined as life outside any nat
 ion state. The term describes a form of existence\, one that Rizzi attempt
 s to approach and reflect about with his films and photographs.In his phot
 ographic series »August 3rd« shot in a Yazidi camp for internally displaced 
 people in Iraqi Kurdistan\, the date »3/8/2014« is graffitied on many tents.
  On August 3rd 2014\, Daesh\, the Islamic State\, started the genocide of 
 the Yazidi minority in the town of Sinjar in Iraqi Kurdistan\, with the ma
 ssacre of men and ongoing enslavement and systematic abduction and abuse o
 f women and children. Daesh justified the killing\, occupation\, kidnappin
 g\, the trading and mass rape of women and girls of the Yazidi minority be
 cause they are not Muslim. Rizzi's intimate portraits of Yazidi women\, wi
 th their straight looks into the camera\, interrogate us\, our silences\, 
 our hurried judgments\, our preconceptions. While the massacre is still ha
 ppening\, other thousands of Yazidis live in camps in Iraqi Kurdistan and 
 Jordan\, but also in Greece and Germany.The slideshow »Bare Lives« consists 
 of 80 photographs shot in two different geographical areas and human condi
 tions: the improvised camps which were unofficially forming throughout 201
 6 in Idomeni at the border between Greece and Macedonia\, and the long-sta
 nding state-established camps for Yazidi IDP (internally displaced people)
  in Iraqi Kurdistan. All images depict a life of impermanence and uncertai
 nty. But emotions are very different in the two camps. In Idomeni people s
 eem hopeful and they look forward to a new chance in their life. They expe
 ct the border to open so that they can continue their way towards the weal
 thier European countries. The border never opened and\, in the end\, they 
 were placed in different camps throughout Greece. In the Yazidi IDP camp i
 n Iraqi Kurdistan people do not feel safe nor hopeful. People have lost ev
 erything\, not only their homes and families\, some of the women are still
  in the hands of Daesh.Mario Rizzi?s 30-minute film »Al Intithar« (The Waiti
 ng)\, which is also presented in the exhibition\, premiered at Berlinale F
 ilm Festival 2013. It was shot during the artist?s seven-week stay in Zaat
 ari refugee camp in the Jordanian desert. The film\, which presents itself
  as an excerpt\, follows the life of a Syrian woman\, Ekhlas\, translating
  the tragic macrocosm of the Syrian war to the intimate microcosm of a rel
 entless woman and her three children.The film »Kauther«\, is a long monologu
 e\, in a bare room\, over the course of a few days. The protagonist is Kau
 ther Ayari\, the first activist to give a passionate voice to Tunis rioter
 s\, on Jan 8\, 2011\, precariously speaking from a window of the Trade Uni
 on's central building. She incited her comrades to stand up for freedom\, 
 social justice and democratic change. With absolute openness and unconceal
 ed intimacy\, Kauther tells about herself and also addresses the build-up 
 of 2011 and the conditions of being a woman in present day Arab society. T
 he latter she has spent her life challenging.Mehr Informationen zum Ausste
