Raw Footage/Scapegoats
Aernout Mik




BAK, basis voor actuele kunst主办“Raw Footage/Scapegoats”(原拍摄/替罪羊)荷兰艺术家Aernout Mik个展。
“原拍摄/替罪羊”是一个有两个部分的计划关于战争的经验和描绘,以及关于战争的时候怎么正常和极端情况混合。

“原拍摄” 是一个两个视频的录像装置,在这里Mik第一次用纪录片方式拍东西。
装置用在以前南斯拉夫战争的原始,未发表过的摄影。Mik花了几个月时间来寻找这些资料在媒体档案里。
这里艺术家寻找另外一些实情,他目的为把这些大众媒体关于南斯拉夫战争的表面而壮观的图片颠覆。
录像装置“替罪羊”的内容是虚构的。艺术家研究怎么当代情况时从事战争是一个摧毁但一直存在的问题。这个录像内容像西欧的战争状况。军队,犯人,和带武器的老百姓参与权利争斗。受害者和压制者的角色一直在变。

The video seems to show a wartime conflict taking place in Western Europe. Groups of soldiers, prisoners, and armed civilians are involved in a continuous power struggle, in which the role of victim and oppressor constantly shifts. Raw Footage/Scapegoats is produced by the artist and BAK, basis voor actuele kunst. The project and exhibition are the outcome of a long-term collaboration with the artist.

BAK, basis voor actuele kunst presents the solo exhibition Raw Footage/Scapegoats by Dutch artist Aernout Mik. Raw Footage/Scapegoats is a two-part project on the experience and depiction of war, and how normality and extremity are interwoven in wartime situations.

In Raw Footage, a two-channel video installation, Mik works with documentary footage for the first time. The installation is made of raw, unedited images of the war in former Yugoslavia, which the artist unearthed after searching for months in the media archives of Reuters and Independent Television News (ITN). In search of other layers of reality, Mik focuses his attention on the war in former Yugoslavia with the aim of subverting the superficial, yet paradoxically spectacular imagery of war we know from mass media. The video installation Scapegoats, on the other hand, is a fiction staged by the artist questioning the contemporary condition in which waging war is a devastating yet ever present feature. The video seems to show a wartime conflict taking place in Western Europe. Groups of soldiers, prisoners, and armed civilians are involved in a continuous power struggle, in which the role of victim and oppressor constantly shifts. Raw Footage/Scapegoats is produced by the artist and BAK, basis voor actuele kunst. The project and exhibition are the outcome of a long-term collaboration with the artist.

Raw Footage/Scapegoats is realized in partnership with Treaty of Utrecht and is presented within the framework of its multi-part project Kunst in Oorlog ( [url]http://www.kunstinoorlog.nl ). Additional support has been generously provided by the Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture, Mondriaan Foundation, and ThuisKopie Fonds.
