Issue #2 Launch

Issue #2: Let’s Spoil!

Launch Event: Screening @ Cittipunkt e.V., Brüsseler Straße 36A Berlin (Germany)

December 8th, 5 PM

Mimesis Magazine - Film as Performance launches its new issue built around the provocation, - “Let’s Spoil!”! In our first installment (out of three), we present a screening of films by contributing artists Asher Hartman, Nina Sarnelle, Ryat Yezbick, Mohamed Abdelkarim and others.

With Mimesis issue #2, we assemble visions, gestures, and new social, ecological, and epistemic relations within film and performance practices. Together with our contributors, we propose “spoilers” of cinematic forms and narratives to expose their oppressive histories. We are interested in artistic practices that plunder and spoil the extractivist structures that lie in the stolen building blocks that our histories are made of, in practices that turn value into waste, and refuse to reuse as they recycle, appropriate, and reclaim. Let’s spoil!
