MOMENTA | Biennale de l’image is delighted to announce the full list of artists for the 16th edition of the biennale, titled The Life of Things. A total of 39 artists from 20 different countries will participate in MOMENTA, which will explore through 13 exhibitions the issues of (over) consumption that characterize contemporary life. For this edition of the biennale from September 5–October 13, 2019, curator María Wills Londoño in collaboration with Audrey Genois and Maude Johnson will examine the excessive production that redefines the limits of the object, through four thematic components: Cultural Objects and Material Culture, Thingified Beings or Humanized Objects, The Absurd as Counter-Narrative of the Object, and Still Life in an Age of Environmental Crisis.
