Film at Sociedad del Casino in Cartagena
Greek artist Stefanos Tsivopoulos’s installation explored the role that images play in history and memory. A slideshow with a selection of photographs from an archive found in Cartagena was shown alongside his film Amnesialand which combines documentary material with a science fiction story in which Murcia’s mining industry has left a Mars-like landscape and large deposits of toxic waste.
