Questioning of the system

Ensemble

In trying to thematise Muntadas works, there is no straight line on which you can balance everything. Many projects can be fit into different catagories. The On translation series itself contain a lot of different thematics, as do the media-projects. Still we opted to seperate the works that questions the systems, or to be correct, any kind of system. Muntadas efforts to investigate the inner workings of society have led him to develop research projects about politics as well as musea, which can also be seen as a system. The attention that is directed to those institutions of power everywhere is now being linked back by the gathering of information in this ensemble.
