For Jasmina Cibic, artist-researcher, each film project is an opportunity to delve into the archives, into their testimonies as well as their silences, in order to reveal the relationship that all forms of power, whether state, governmental, partisan, or diplomatic, have with the arts. For the exhibition "Stagecraft – a staging of power," presented at macLYON from September 15, 2021 to January 2, 2022, Jasmina Cibic brought together several years of research devoted to the notion of gift in the diplomatic context. The film The Gift (2019-2021), shown for the first time in its complete version, is a cinematic journey that explores the use of culture as a political gift in times of European identity crises. The nation is broken, and in order for it to heal, a perfect gift must be offered to those who compose it, a gift that will overcome deep divisions in times of political and ideological crisis.
The catalogue for this exhibition brings together essays by Matthieu Lelièvre, curator of the exhibition, and iLiana Fokianaki, curator, art critic and educator based in Athens and Rotterdam, as well as the synopsis of the film The Gift and a presentation of the characters and filming locations. A rich iconography, composed of views of the exhibition at macLYON and a significant selection of archives on which Jasmina Cibic relied to design The Gift , completes this work.
