Inhuman Exhibition at Castello di Barletta Features Oleg Kulik, Andres Serrano, Kendell Geers

The exhibition 'Inhuman', curated by Giusy Caroppo and part of the Circuito del Contemporaneo, opened at the Castello di Barletta in 2020. The show features works by three artists exploring dehumanization and societal critique. Oleg Kulik, a Ukrainian visual artist and activist, presents videos where he performs as a dog interacting with the outside world, reflecting on the individual crushed by global society. Andres Serrano's photographic project captures the echo of torture on his subjects, with dramatic raking light emphasizing permanent marks of abuse. South African artist Kendell Geers transforms symbols of political and economic power into modern simulacra, destabilizing the viewer's judgment. The exhibition aims to provoke collective consciousness on seemingly superficial yet deeply reflective themes of modern life.
