Interzone

Solo show at Kunstmuseum Gelsenkirchen 9.11.2024—02.03.2025
Curator: Julia Höner

From the Press Release: "The exhibition title, Interzone, is a nod to the eponymous location of William S. Burroughs’s book Naked Lunch and describes a threshold state in which the laws of physics, social commitments, and societal structures have become unhinged. The artist has taken over the museum's basement floor to stage a sonic and visual-spatial installation inspired by the nocturnal city. The video works and video games, created in a gaming engine, tie in with the museum’s stimulating architecture to create night-time fictional spaces inhabited by surreal, autonomous, and, in part, absurd machines. Embedded in hyper-realistic digital narrative worlds, Rodeh’s works illuminate processes that play significant roles in contemporary urban landscapes, particularly in the local context: unregulated transactions of capital, post-industrial urbanity, automated mobility concepts, surveillance and obfuscation, and the ecological crisis."  —Julia Höner, Chief curator and museum director, Kunstmuseum Gelsenkirchen
