Dick Verdult at Documenta15

Dick Verdult, aka Dick el Demasiado, created the soundscore for the video installation Smashing Monuments by Sebastián Díaz Morales, now on view at Documenta 15. A portrait of the members of ruangrupa, this year's curators of the exhibition, the video shows several members from different generations talking to iconic monuments in Jakarta. The country’s history of independence and ruangrupa’s own path as young citizens of the new republic mingle in these half improvised and intimate dialogues. The fictionalized story acts here as a document of a moment and also of past and future desires and illusions.
