Info
The Humboldt Forum holds within the Ethnologisches Museum some important cultural assets that do not belong there. The institution and architecture have been discussed extremely controversial, as have the golden cross and the banner attached to the dome. The production RE PE RA deals with this critisism by means of the return of cultural objects. The basic structure for the new video work is provided by a typographic letter bingo with the name of the artist PE RE RA; the RE in particular plays an important role here, since it is at the same time the prefix of various verbs that express a return or a return. REACT, REFUSE, RETURN
