Manifesta purposely strives to keep its distance from what are often seen as the dominant centres of artistic production, instead seeking fresh and fertile terrain for the mapping of a new cultural topography.

Manifesta 13 Marseille was one of the only international biennials to take place during the global pandemic COVID-19, the biennial ended earlier than planned due to the second national lockdown

Video installation at Casino Luxembourg

Dutch artists Jeroen de Rijke and Willem de Rooij projected their videos in two rooms of the Casino Luxembourg. These two rooms were adapted in order to create a situation that corresponded to the particular temporal and psychological character of their two films "I'm Coming Home in Forty Days" (15 min.) and "Chun Tian" (3 min.).
