M HKA gaat digitaal

Met M HKA Ensembles zetten we onze eerste échte stappen in het digitale landschap. Ons doel is met behulp van nieuwe media de kunstwerken nog beter te kaderen dan we tot nu toe hebben kunnen doen.

We geven momenteel prioriteit aan smartphones en tablets, m.a.w. de in-museum-ervaring. Maar we zijn evenzeer hard aan het werk aan een veelzijdige desktop-versie. Tot het zover is vind je hier deze tussenversie.

M HKA goes digital

Embracing the possibilities of new media, M HKA is making a particular effort to share its knowledge and give art the framework it deserves.

We are currently focusing on the experience in the museum with this application for smartphones and tablets. In the future this will also lead to a versatile desktop version, which is now still in its construction phase.

In 1971, with the support of friends, the painter Simone Fattal decided to turn to the medium of filmmaking and to shoot over many hours the self-portrait she realised that she was unable to paint. Using tracking shots of the city of Beirut, family pictures and interviews with parents and friends, the black-and-white video is accompanied by a rousing soundtrack sometimes interrupted by periods of silence that are intense moments of emotion and seduction for the spectator. Both hesitant and spontaneous, sitting at a table smoking and drinking coffee, Fattal exposes herself and confesses her intimate memories. Her monologue leads to a reflection on love, men, religion, freedom and art.
