Amer•i•ca•na
Materials concerning or characteristic of America, its civilazation, or its culture.
Broadly: things typical of America.

Specificly: An exhibition by Benjamin Heisenberg using pictures, moving images and sounds to portray a Western state of mind between paranoia, fetishisation and progressivism, between urban videocracy, make-belief and rural idyll.

The exhibition includes five large encaustic paintings on paper, a collaborative video piece with Alexander Kluge, and four animated short films based on Alfred Hitchcock’s “Dial M for Murder”, “ Vertigo”, “North by Nortwest”, “The Birds”.
