Jeroen de Vries / recent installations
The installations shown here are the result of the collective efforts of curators, builders, graphic designers, light designers, web designers, producers, photographers, film-makers etc. I am responsible for the architecture, sometimes (co)-curated them and sometimes took on some of the other roles as well.
The last days of shismaref / Dana Lixenberg
The photographs of Dana Lixenberg and the camerawork of Melle van Essen are mounted together in space, separated by a half transparent screen. Installation includes a soundtrack, an extensive website, projected animated maps, a timeline, newsfeeds and a large number of monitors with news and interviews. 2008 / LP2 / Rotterdam
In History / Susan Meiselas
Meiselas's work evolved in radical and challenging ways as she grappled with questions about her relationship to her subjects, the use and circulation of her images, and the relationship of images to history and memory. An installation combining prints, projections, film, documents, websites, books etc.
2008 / International Center of Photography / New York
Kurdistan projection / in collaboration with Susan Meiselas
Meiselas travelled the world with an exhibition she put together named Kurdistan, in the Shadow of History. Instead of resurrecting it as part of an exhibition on her work, I proposed to clarify Meiselas motives and methods with an installation of vitrines in combination with a multi-screen projection.
