"mosquitobox"
installation / performance / video / c-prints
july 2003 - oliver kunkel
A scientific
looking glass box, containing HIV-infected mosquitoes
is smashed at an art festival in Slovenia. The
exhibition and surrounding area is evacuated,
and the fear of infection among the local population
is alarming.
The video Mosquitobox, is the documentation
of this episode which took place in Slovenia
in 2003.
It is a work about fear, and human’s
lack of knowledge concerning one of the world
largest and most widely recognized epidemic.
The work brought the subject of HIV to the
front page of the news, and in this way, back
into peoples mind.
