how to rock the casbah, 3-channel video installation, 2007.

 

 

 

 

The arrows and symbols of worldwideprayingdirections show the praying directions of Jews (Jerusalem), Muslims (Mekka) and Christians (East) at a specific place.

 

   

The 3-channel video installation how to rock the casbah takes the well known punk song of the band “The Clash” as a starting point for reflections on diverse, often conflicting receptions of globally available cultural artefacts.

 

 

 

Katrin Ströbel (*1975 in Pforzheim) lives and works in Stuttgart, Frankfurt/Main and on her way. Longer periods working in France, Marrocco, Senegal, Nigeria, and South Africa. In her drawings, photographs, and (video-)installations she deals with questions of migration, home and rootedness, and cultural intermixture – mainly between Northern Africa and Europe.
