Verena Landau

The sale of her painted film stills Pasolini-Stills and Passing Pasolini led her to create portraits of collectors engaged in mundane activities in the spaces in front of the paintings; Zone of Discretion traces the story of a painting that was sold to a bank. Another project involved staging a fictional theft of her own painting through a series of photomontages. In more recent years, Landau has been interested in entrances to banks and shareholder meetings, public passages and, most recently, spaces of public transit and the inherent waiting and movement there. Verena Landau: Passages, Passengers, Places reveals and documents the evolution of a cutting-edge artist.
