In 2023, the film Playtime<\/em> by Isaac Julien was screened in the spacious rooms of the PalaisPopulaire in Berlin, accompanied by photographic works created during the filming process, which the artist considers autonomous works of art. Curated by Philipp Bollmann and developed jointly by the Wemh\u00f6ner Collection and the PalaisPopulaire with Deutsche Bank AG, the exhibition presents Playtime<\/em> to re-examine this work from a contemporary perspective\u2014a piece that is more relevant than ever, as capital plays a role in all political, social, and societal spheres and influences the lives of almost everyone on this planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five years after the profound global banking and financial crisis, Isaac Julien presented the film Playtime<\/em> in 2013. In this work, Julien addresses a fundamental question: How can capital be visualized?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the stories of six protagonists\u2014individuals active in both the worlds of art and finance\u2014Isaac Julien found narrative imagery that speaks to the global interconnectedness of capital. In these images, macroscopic and microscopic perspectives are linked in a dialectical manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
