In this post-pandemic era of travel restrictions Art from Elsewhere: Samarkand is a video program about otherness – a way of seeing the world without travelling. Moving images move us, and artworks serve as windows onto the world. As we now emerge carefully after months of isolation, and learn how to negotiate the new realities of a post-pandemic world, it becomes more important than ever to have such windows through which to gaze. In these uncertain times, they remind us that, for all our differences, we are all in this together. The works shown in this program focus on global issues, equally relevant to us all, no matter where we live or where we have come from. They reflect on the social and environmental repercussions of globalization and its impact on the transformation of cultural identities; they interrogate issues of identity, inequality, and poverty; they scrutinize the environmental traumas we inflict on our planet and its creatures; and they ponder the (un)quiet poetry, conflicts, and beauty of how we must live from day to day.

In this Artist Spotlight series, we asked David about the inspiration for his work ‚Parallel Universes‘, his process, and an insight to the meaning behind two of his four exhibiting videos; ‚Dream of the Statue‘ and ‚Changing of the Guard‘!
