PostHum Condition: A Tribute to Guernica

Michel Platnic Curators: Hava Aldouby and Carmit Blumensohn

Michel Platnic's installation PostHum Condition: A Tribute to Guernica resonates with a disquieting sense of human vulnerability and powerlessness in the face of technologically induced disaster. A Tribute to Guernica is the fourth work in Platnic's moving image series PostHum Condition, following Children Playing (2023), Garden Muse (2023), and Tammuz (2024). The installation, comprising eight video works and four mechanically animated “robots," continues Platnic's sustained investigation into twenty-first-century existential concerns. Departing from the AI-driven explorations of the series' first three works, Platnic's current installment marks a return to manual craft and mechanical animation. This is further enhanced by real-time engagement with visitors through the integration of motion sensors and surveillance cameras.  For More
