ROBERT ALIAJ DRAGOT, AT THE 53RD INTERNATIONAL ART EXHIBITION, LA BIENNALE DI VENEZIA, June 7-September 30, 2009. A COLLATERAL EVENT. A new video installation "The "6080K310i" at the 53rd. Venice Biennale Official Collateral Events in Forte Marghera Krossing "Immaginodromo" Via Forte Marghera 30, Venezia Mestre. Curated by Andrea Bonifacio and Orsola Casagrande. The "6080K310i" installation is based in the reconstruction situations modeled from the videos posted on YouTube. The characters in the original videos were removed from their context and viewed in a new one. Through the mechanism of reconstruction of the violent situation, the abuses and human excesses are even more strengthened put into isolation. Thus, the original videos (if we return) may prove rather fiction instead of reality and the videos capture this dose of troubled reality .. Reconstruction (fiction by the artist), and reality (video posted on YouTube) are thus in this way blurred. The fiction and reality start to uncover the strategies often very subtle to construct and deconstruct a "truth" and often hide or in the most striking case, justify the violence. How to deal with violence and where to place? Often the video or "evidences" of violence and injustice posted on YouTube are anonymous and try to share and abuse, which construct a kind of theater of public execution where the spectator becomes a silent witness.
