n.b.k. Video-Forum

Under the title *The Zapruder Effect: Four Investigations*, a special exhibition at the n.b.k. Video Forum explores how artists draw on archives, imaging techniques and investigative methods to reveal political, historical and environmental realities that have hitherto lain outside the frame.


Four films by Emmanuel Licha, Miles Rufelds, Susan Schuppli and Sanaz Sohrabi – whose work ranges from documentary research to para-fiction – make use of the image by examining, cross-referencing and reconfiguring the traces through which facts are constituted.


In parallel, VOX in Montréal will present the three-part screening series INFRASTRUCTURES, curated by Anna Lena Seiser, from 15 October 2026 to 22 May 2027, featuring works from the n.b.k. Video-Forum collection.


Artists: Emmanuel Licha, Miles Rufelds, Susan Schuppli, Sanaz Sohrabi


Curator: Marie J. Jean, Director of VOX, centre de l’image contemporaine, Montréal (CA)
