Pavel Brăila’s newly commissioned three-channel video installation looks at the layers of history to be found in Graz—a city still recuperating from a violent 20th century. It visits Annenstraße, once a flourishing shopping street, deeply affected by the expropriation of Jewish-run businesses in 1938. Today, Annenstraße’s residents are mostly of non-Austrian origins and include migrant communities from all over the Middle East, Central Asia, the Caucasus, and elsewhere.
Pavel Brăila (1971, Chișinău, Moldova) is an artist and filmmaker. His work addresses the fragile economies of post-Soviet realities in a mix of conceptual performance and experimental film. Brăila has participated in numerous exhibitions, including at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam; Tate Gallery, London; Renaissance Society, Chicago; Kölnischer Kunstverein; Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Documenta 11 and Documenta 14, Kassel (and Athens); and Manifesta 10, Saint Petersburg. He lives in Chișinău.
