Julian Rosefeldt Midwest

Ralf Beil2016
Julian Rosefeldt (b. 1965) is one of the most famous contemporary film artists. His installation Midwest shows a dismal container terminal. Car tyres, crushed cigarette packets and the mattresses of a homeless man mark the setting before visitors reach a run-down drive-in cinema, where Rosefeldt's film The Swap is presented: an action film parody about tough men, cars, the flow of money and goods and organized crime. The present volume documents the installation and delves deeper into its highly political contents.
