KRISTINA LEKO AND DAVID SMITHSON
Snoring in the USA
5 March – 17 April, 2011
Multi-channel video installation by Kristina Leko and David Smithson
Exhibition from Kunsthalle (Umjetnicki paviljon) in Zagreb
Seven days and seven nights of a road-trip through the USA in 2003: Large format projections of road movies referring to film history and clichéd images of America are juxtaposed with everyday conversations, radio news broadcasts and infra-red footage of motel rooms at night. In an ironical reversal the American Dream becomes poetic reality.
