Sejla Kameric: Mit tudok

Negycsatornas videoinstallacio, 2007

Sejla Kameric videoinstallacioja a csaladi emlekek es tortenetek furcsa, 
bizonytalan, veszterhes, megis idillinek tuno vilagaba vezet A muvesz 
nagyszuleinek hazaban az egykori csaladi fenykepekrol ismert szereplok 
bolyonganak, tortenetek szalai keverednek es vesznek a multba, az 
emlekezes osvenyein elhalvanyulnak, majd osszemosodnak a nyomok. 
Valamennyi szereplo gyerek, mintha emlekezo es emlek egyazon alak volna. 
Masok multjaba belevenhedt gyerekek, komoly arcu apro felnottek, akiket 
latva meg nehezebbnek tunik a csalad es a tarsadalmi konvenciok sulya, 
mintha mar a kezdetektol ismernenk a tortenet veget.

Sejla Kameric: What do I know

Four-channel video installation, 2007

The video installation of Sejla Kameric leads us into the strange, 
obscure, ominous, and yet seemingly idyllic world of family memories. 
Figures once familiar from family photographs are wandering around the 
artist’s grandparents’ house; threads of various stories interweave and 
vanish into the past; traces fade and mingle on the paths of 
remembrance. All characters are children, as if rememberer and memory 
were one and the same. Children grown old in others’ pasts, Lilliputian 
adults wearing grave faces. Seeing them, the burden of family and social 
conventions seem even heavier, as if we knew the end of the story from 
the very beginning.

Directed by: Sejla Kameric, Timur Makarevic
Director of photography: Vladimir Trivic


9 November, 7pm:

Playing History: On Sejla Kameric’s “What Do I Know?” and other 
contemporary re-enactments of the past.

A lecture by Anselm Wagner (Graz) – in English

The trauma of borders created by violence, and the trauma of war and 
persecution characterise the work of the young Bosnian artist Sejla 
Kameric. Using photos, videos and actions in public space, she 
formulates utopian longings and reveals the absurdity of current 
European policies with their mechanisms of exclusion and foreign 
control. The lecture will deal with Kameric’s recent work, the film 
„What Do I Know?“, a story concerning the lives of her grandfathers and 
grandmothers played by young girls and boys, and will analyze its means 
and structure within the framework of contemporary artistic methods of 
re-enacting of historical events.

Dr. Anselm Wagner is Assistant Professor at the Institute of 
Architectural Theory, Art History and Culural Studies at the University 
of Technology in Graz, and he works as an art critic for several 
magazines in Austria (e.g. “spike”, “Parnass”).
