The city of Munich is one of the main locations of Cyprien Gaillard’s latest film Retinal Rivalry, a landmark work that takes us on a journey of folded time and unreachable urban surfaces. This work expands Gaillard’s stereoscopic motion pictures with a further exploration in their sculptural and psychedelic space, and subverts our perception of image and its convention. Starting this year off with reflection on public monuments and their concepts and meanings, Haus der Kunst borrow views from Gaillard’s long search for artefacts and architecture that have lost their original purposes. From there the museum ask how the building of Haus der Kunst serves as a monument to its troubled history and revitalise ourselves with new works by living artists. The exhibition presents this groundbreaking film installation that is based on an intense photographic scouting research, with a new series of site-specific works.
