The Art Of the Un-War: Using art, design, and technology the internationally renowned artist Krzysztof Wodiczko invites war veterans, refugees, and the homeless to co-create projects so they can speak about their plights in public spaces. Special Mention, SDFF 2022 Jury Awards - Feature.
Artist Krzysztof Wodiczko uses art, design, and technology to empower marginalized communities. This rare glimpse into the life and thought-provoking public projections of the Polish-born artist sheds light on his lifelong investigation of monuments, war, and trauma. The evolution of his political art unfolds throughout the film, from his first intervention created in Warsaw, Poland (his birthplace) in 1968, through his latest effort to transform Paris’ monument to war Arc De Triomphe into its complete antithesis -a temporary site for war abolitionism and peace activism.
