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.

Installation at Casino Luxembourg

German artist Andreas Slominski attempted to enter one room of the Casino Luxembourg with a ladder in a horizontal position. However, as the door was too narrow, outlines of the ladder were cut into the wall. Once the ladder was inside the room, the wall was repaired and a video of this process was projected serving as a reflection on the reception and production of the artistic process.
