Franziska Greber《呼声》

瑞士艺术家Franziska Greber的《呼声》也很吸引观众。视频中,我们会看到始终没有露面的女性背影,也会看到全然不去遮挡从容诉说的面孔,她们的国籍不同,但身份一致:女性。她们在言说着什么?她们的经历、痛苦、希望和愿望……在影像前的展台上,放置着一份小册子,里边书写着她们的“呼声”,而这些呼声构成了一个国际艺术项目《黑暗中的女人》——是不是让你想到一本汉娜·阿伦特的《黑暗时代的人们》。

“…. The installation ‘VOICES’ by the Swiss artist Franziska Greber is very attractive to the public.

On the bench in front of the monitor is a book which contains the voices of the women in written form. These voices form an international art project ‘WOMEN IN THE DARK’ – does it not remind us of Hannah Arendt’s book ‘Men in Dark Times’? …”
