‘Art in Conflict – Practice’ is a spin-off of the ‘Art in Conflict’ discussion series. The evening of 20 May will be divided into two parts. At 5.30 p.m., the film ‘The Landscape and the Fury’ will be shown, followed by a discussion with the filmmaker at 8.15 p.m.

‘The Landscape and the Fury’ (Switzerland 2024, 138 min) was made in Ravnice in north-western Bosnia, where mines from the Bosnian War still lie and a European external border runs. Yet amid this landscape, everyday life continues as normal and solidarity reigns among the residents. But how can the absurd story of the 932-kilometre-long EU external border between Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina be told? And how can images be found for violence that expresses itself precisely through its invisibility along a seemingly endless green border? In her own words, Nicole Vögele sought a ‘kaleidoscope of pain in the rustling leaves’ in order to ‘explore this spot on earth, this spot in the soul of the world, through film’.

Spontaneous participation on site is possible at any time. Participation via Zoom is also possible with prior registration via this link.
