All But War Is Simulation

On Sunday, 19 Sep­tember, a new solo ex­hi­bi­tion by Miloš Trak­ilović opens at Het Kunstfort. “All But War Is Sim­u­la­tion” is an im­pres­sive video in­stal­la­tion com­prising per­for­mance, text, an­i­ma­tion, and found im­ages. The work ex­am­ines the role of vi­sual cul­ture and media in the rep­re­sen­ta­tion of vi­o­lence. Theory, pop­ular cul­ture, po­etry, and per­sonal ex­pe­ri­ences are com­bined with over­ar­ching themes of mi­gra­tion, mil­i­ta­riza­tion, and dig­ital tech­nology. Miloš Trak­ilović is Bosnian-Dutch artist who lives in Berlin, and was re­cently ex­hib­ited at Badis­cher Kun­stverein (Karslruhe), Center Pom­pidou (Paris), and Kun­sthalle Wien (Vi­enna). Next year he will re­alize a new work to­gether with Hito Steyerl and Giorgi Gagoshidze, to be pre­sented in the Stedelijk Mu­seum Amsterdam.
