Krzysztof Wodiczko

by Wodiczko, Krzysztof.

"Krzysztof Wodiczko is an author of nearly eighty public projections, presented since 1980 in various places around the world. In 1996, he started to stage video-and-sound projections, animating public monuments with the images and voices of homeless people, immigrants, war veterans, victims of violence, marginalized minorities. ... In the video installation Guests, the protagonists are illegal immigrants, people who, not being at home, remain "eternal" guests. With their ability to "include and exclude," borders are very much what this projection is about, located by the artist above all "between the acutual stranger and the fear of one's own strangeness."
