The South African artist, based in Berlin, will be exhibiting an array of video installation artwork and new artwork co-commissioned by ACMI and the Peabody Essex Museum in Massachusetts. Breitz’s artwork exhibits the role that mass media and celebrity play within our society and how this as a result shapes our identity and perception. Through her installation work (both photographic and video) these themes are explored using individuals replicating scenes of popular culture, film and music as well as remixes and mash ups of film and sound. The new artwork which will be displayed within the December exhibition has been regarded as the her most ambitious work to date.
