Seba Kurtis
Hostages evacuated in a bus from the Dubrovka theater – Seba Kurtis, Photography

2022

About the Item

Seba KURTIS (*1974, Argentina) Hostages evacuated in a bus from the Dubrovka theater, from the series 'Chemical Reaction', 2022 Lambda C-Type print on 3mm aluminium Sheet 61 x 91.4 cm (24 x 36 in.) Edition of 7 Print only Background: On 23 October 2002, 40 Chechen militants headed by warlord Movsar Barayev took 912 hostages at the Dubrovka Theatre in Moscow, where the popular musical Nord-Ost was showing. Three days later Russian security services pumped sleeping gas into the hall, stormed it and killed all the attackers. But some 130 hostages died - most not at the hands of the gunmen and women, but apparently because of the effects of the gas. About the artist: Seba Kurtis was born in Argentina in 1974. He studied journalism in Buenos Aires before leaving the country for Europe in the wake of the political and economic crisis of 2001. Several years spent as an illegal immigrant have informed much of his work, which explores the personal, social and cultural impact of irregular migration. Kurtis' work has been exhibited internationally, with solo shows in Europe and the USA, and his first book, Drowned (Here Press, 2011), was selected for the International Photobook Award at the International Photobook Festival, Le Bal, Paris, 2012. Kif (Here Press, 2013) is his second publication and was exhibited with solo shows at Withward gallery in London and in Manchester Photographic Gallery. Today Kurtis lives and works in Manchester. "His photography is the sensitive extension of his robust nomad’s body with its magnanimous aura. It serves him as a performative means to talk about the world and to establish connections between world history and the individual story of his life in a sophisticated manner. As an artist Seba Kurtis is constantly on the move and is unconcerned by physical or aesthetic limits. He is among those who know that photography does not represent reality but that it is able to reveal its ruggedness, complexity and – above all – its inexhaustible poetry." – Stefano Stoll, Director of the Festival IMAGES in Vevey. – Art, Contemporary, Colour, Photography, Fine Art, Chemical Reaction, Acid, Human, Attack, Teheran
