Jonas Englert, Zoon Politikon long-term project documentation

​

In collaboration with LS43, on the occasion of the exhibition New Films J.E. & J.R.

Scope BLN Artists-in-Residence program, March-May, 2018

​

The project "Zoon Politikon" is a long-term video work that reflects autobiographical perspectives of personalities who make the complex "polis" experienceable. The aim is to explore the individual and social paradigms, identity changes and contexts of the 20th and 21st centuries. Within 50 minutes, the persons photographed are asked to describe their lives as political people.
