In collaboration with BMW, Salta art presents the screening of Crash (2023), a film by Rio de Janeiro–based artist Gabriela Mureb, followed by a conversation with the artist alongside Janine Thiess. The event takes place on Saturday morning, May 10, at Kino im Bayerischen Hof as part of the VARIOUS OTHERS program.
Crash was developed during Mureb’s residency at AIR-M Ebenböckhaus in Munich, 2023, in partnership with the City of Munich’s Department of Arts and Culture. The film was made in collaboration with the BMW Recycling and Dismantling Centre (RDZ) in Unterschleißheim, where the artist was granted access for filming and research as well as recycled car parts for the creation of sculptural pieces.
In Crash, she reflects on efficiency, sustainability, and the afterlife of machines. The disassembly of a test vehicle becomes a meditation on transience. Through a GoPro’s immersive view, the film blurs the line between human and machine, inviting new perspectives on material agency.
