Euphoria

Quick Info

„Euphoria” is the new multidisciplinary, extensive film installation of video artist and film maker Julian Rosefeldt, who already delighted the Ruhrtriennale audience in 2016 with „Manifesto”.

„Euphoria“ is a tour de force through the history of economic theory and views itself as a film-based reenactment of pro and contra capitalist criticism. The project quotes original texts of famous personalities with economical, literary, philosophic and poetry backgrounds and traces the 2000-year history of human greed. Julian Rosefeldt translates the complicated evolutionary history of our neoliberal market economy through a combination of historical text with familiar scenic depictions into an accessible image language. Actors and actresses like Giancarlo Esposito and Virginia Newcomb appear in the film as contemporary characters, and Cate Blanchett gives a talking and singing tiger her voice. The music was composed by Canadian composer Samy Moussa, and British composer Cassie Kinoshi contributed one piece. The music was created in cooperation with the Brooklyn Youth Chorus and five of the most famous contemporary jazz drummers of our time.
