Join us at 1646 for an exhibition that examines the hidden powers that rule many
parts of our lives.
Financial power is a concept that becomes more intangible with each attempt to
understand it, often hiding itself in tall buildings. Through extensive research
on the development of global capitalism, stock markets and big corporations,
artist/filmmaker Bob Demper tries to understand the impact it has on our
existence. Demper looks at how the risk taken by the corporate world is almost
always a public risk, and how this relentless pursuit of growth has resulted in
polarisation, confusion and a lack of understanding of what’s governing our
everyday life.
At 1646, the audience can walk through carefully crafted film sets. Spaces that
make us feel the tension between these opaque financial worlds and our private
space, where we find ourselves on the edge of dreams and reality.
