Description
Untitled/Again (Marienbad) is a performance-installation inspired by seriality, black swans and Alain Robert-Grillet and Alain Resnais’ brilliantly cold classic “Last Year at Marienbad”. This seminal piece of modern cinema is legendary for its self-contained yet ambiguous narrative structure in which memory and mores are subject to doubt – and events, locations and personas remain repetitive yet mutable and oblique. Artist Yason Banal forms a contemporary constellation around etiquette, entrapment and ennui by transporting Marienbad to different cities, inhabited by human figurines, sculptural garments and gallery artifacts.
The serial has been exhibited and performed at Osage Gallery in Hong Kong and Singapore, Jakarta Biennale, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, IFA Stuttgart and Berlin, Courtauld Institute of Art and the Tate Modern – traversing geographies, identities, contexts and media, almost always returning to Marienbad.
