In collaboration with BMW, Salta art presents the screening of Crash (2023), a film by Rio de Janeiro–based artist Gabriela Mureb, followed by a conversation with the artist alongside Janine Thiess, Business Development Circular Economy at BMW Group, moderated by Christiane Pyka, Spokesperson BMW Group Cultural Engagement.
The event takes place on Saturday morning, May 10, at Kino im Bayerischen Hof as part of the VARIOUS OTHERS program.
Crash was developed during Mureb’s residency at AIR-M Ebenböckhaus in Munich in 2023, in partnership with the City of Munich’s Department of Arts and Culture. The film was made in collaboration with the BMW Recycling and Dismantling Centre (RDZ) in Unterschleißheim, where the artist was granted access for filming and research as well as recycled car parts for the creation of sculptural pieces.
In Crash, Gabriela Mureb offers a striking reflection on efficiency, sustainability, and the afterlife of machines. The video documents the disassembly of a test vehicle, transforming industrial processes into a visceral meditation on mortality and materiality.
Using the immersive perspective of a GoPro camera, the work blurs the boundary between human and machine, prompting viewers to reconsider the agency of matter in a world shaped by circular economies and mechanical force.
