The exhibition ‘ASSASSINS’ by Nina E. Schönefeld shows selected short films from the years 2018-2021 that focus on political activists who stand up for political change, freedom of speech and preservation of nature. The chosen videos are linked to current political and environmental world issues.
What unites all activists in Schönefeld’s videos is the extreme will to oppose the omnipresent political paralysis. Schönefeld’s ‘ASSASSINS’ take it to the streets and, if necessary, do not shy away from militancy.
The exhibition includes the video works SNOW FOX (2018), ART IS MY REVENGE (2019), N.O.R.O.C.2.3. (2020) and C.O.N.T.A.M.I.N.A.T.I.O.N. (2021).
Nina E. Schönefeld was born in Berlin. She studied at the Berlin University of the Arts and the Royal College of Art in London. Her works have been shown at Berlinische Galerie, Heidelberger Kunstverein, Haus am Lützowplatz and among other international institutions at Goethe Institute Beijing and Aram Art Museum Korea. In addition to ASSASSINS she will have two more solo shows: RIDE OR DIE at KINDL – Centre for Contemporary Art in Berlin and NO FUTURE HOPE at Lothringer 13 (Munich) in cooperation with Münchner Kammerspiele. Nina E. Schönefeld lives and works in Berlin.
