UTRACONE / LOOTED
multi-channel Video INSTALLATION
Looted takes its title from Poland’s Division of Looted Art—a database of stolen Polish artworks from World War II. It features a grid of hundreds of videos showing hands as they repaint looted paintings from the archive. Each video captures the evolution of a painting from a blank canvas to a fully realized copy, which is then wiped away, leaving only a ghost image. Through this process, Looted explores the pillaging of artwork in both wartime and colonization.
