David Reiber Otálora

David Reiber Otálora (*1992) is a German-Colombian artist and filmmaker who was born in Münster and grew up in Bogotá. In his cinematic as well as sculptural works he deals with exoticisms and colonial representations of the so-called other and explores possibilities to affirm them as the basis of fantastic and ambiguous narratives. A recurring element in his work are objects that change the climatic conditions of the room, such as air conditioners, radiators or fans, which are often overlooked due to their functionality.

He recently exhibited at Klosterruine Berlin (2021), ELGARAFI Bom Dia (2021) and Dortmunder Kunstverein/Urbane Künste Ruhr (2021). His exhibitions, screenings and projects include Tropical Frenzy at Kunstverein Gießen (2019), Intimate Matter at Bärenzwinger Berlin (2019) and Hi Ventilation at Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof (2019), Musée de la Porte Dorée (2018), Kassel Documentary Film Festival (2017), Festival Internacional de Cine de Cartagena de Indias (2017), Künstlerhaus Mousonturm (2017).

From Oct—Dec 2021, David Reiber Otálora was a resident at the KunstVereineRuhr.

Unna

Begleitet wird die Grand Snail Tour von Künstler*innen aus dem Bereich Literatur, Fotografie und Zeichnung, die zeitgleich zum Aufenthalt des Tourmobils, Eindrücke und Reflexionen aus jeweils derselben Stadt sammeln und diese sie visuell oder literarisch ins Bild setzen. So entsteht ein Paratext zur 3-jährigen Tour, der in Form einer Reisechronik, ein Kaleidoskop an Geschichten, Verbindungen, Momentaufnahmen in den 53 Städten der Region als Gleichzeitigkeiten und Ungleichzeitigkeiten zur Grand Snail Tour sichtbar werden lässt.
