MISS BAGHDAD BY FREDERIC D
In Frederic Detjens' film 'Miss Baghdad' images from Iraq motivate a girl to protest against war. But Berlin's world of lifestyle, film sets and glossy advertising images polish over any meaningful effort. The disillusions start to make her physically sick. Her hopes return when she meets a renowned advertising guru who turns her into the star of a worldwide peace show. Yet again, all she gets is a hollow spectacle, designed to entertain and reassure. Together with another disappointed girl she decides to take radical measures.
Frederic Detjens' current show, 'Portraits Officiels', is at the Berlin gallery Nice & Fit until 20 December.
