All along the Watchtower

In the exhibition All along the Watchtower, Monika Huber shows her video work MOONSTAR in a space-filling installation. The video MOONSTAR was created after the attempted coup in Turkey and the protest event organized by the Turkish government on August 7, 2016. The Turkish population waved thousands and thousands of Turkish flags - white crescent and stars on a red background - in support of the Turkish government, creating a huge sea of red flags. MOONSTAR is projected onto the entire wall surface, enveloping the space in flickering red light. The video is contrasted with a smaller projection of the video RIOTS.
