Marianna Simnett
WINNER
May 17, 2024 to November 3, 2024
Hamburger Bahnhof – National Gallery of the Present
On the occasion of the 2024 European Football Championship taking place in Germany, artist Marianna Simnett is producing the multi-channel film installation “WINNER”, conceived as a dance for film in three acts, which is told from the perspective of football.
“WINNER” takes up the dramaturgy of the game and dissects its socially constructed power hierarchies, mass psychology and the constant pressure to perform. Through the element of dance, football's most passionate moments are re-staged and radically transformed: soaring and triumph, brutality and wildness, suffering and defeat.
