German artist Julian Rosefeldt (born 1965) is internationally renowned for his visually opulent and meticulously choreographed moving image artworks.
In the immersive film installation MANIFESTO (2014-2015) Rosefeldt has collaborated with Australian actor Cate Blanchett to present a series of striking monologues that Rosefeldt has created by editing a collage of artists’ manifestos.
Ever the chameleon, Blanchett performs these ‘new manifestos’ whilst inhabiting thirteen different personas – among them a school teacher, a newsreader, a factory worker and a homeless men.
Julian Rosefeldt’s exhibition continues at the Art Gallery Of New South Wales until January next year.
