A FILM CLIP MUSEUM DIRECTOR HARALD KUNDE

Dressed in a suit of white paper, Vergara is following the real Harald Kunde as a look-alike during the opening of the exhibition in the Ludwig Forum for International Art, where Kunde was director from 2002 to 2008. During speeches by Kunde and others, Vergara draws charcoal lines on his own suit, and smears it with brown paint. Vergara’s goal – to fix reality in a performative way by means of the recognizable act of drawing or painting on a white piece of paper or cloth – coincides here with the doubling of reality in the world of art. The double of a museum director draws his own presence: art coincides physically with that which leads and represents its institute.
