Hermann Josef Hack: The whole world is a Climate Refugee Camp

With climate change we all become nomads.

Interview with Hermann Josef Hack. German version only.

Monday, January 26th 2009, the german artist Hermann Josef Hack arranged 200 small tents on the square in front of the Brandenburger Tor to build a miniature version of a refugee camp, the world climate refugee camp. Hack’s art refers to current political issues, for him there is no distinction between art and politics. Furthermore he wants to get in direct contact with the public audience instead of presenting his work in institutional art spaces like museums. That’s why he presents his work in public spaces and likes to watch the reaction of the pedestrians, “the very ones who caused the changes that made people refugees in the first place”.

fullframe festival

the full frame festival is a small but powerful festival in vienna. the motivation of the founders was to bring art films (who are normally screened in exhibitions on video monitors) cinemas screens. astonishingly also that size was too little for the organisers so the last full frame festival took place in the vienna planetarium. in a cupola projection. wow! how titanic!
after the presentation we had the pleasure to stroll with felix kubin thou the prater. under a umbrella…how kubi(n)stic!
