Notes for a Letter to Angelina Jolie
Commissioned by HAU Hebbel am Ufer as part of the live program Image of Rescue / Rescuing the Image this short, stark work offers a quiet, preliminary meditation on the imagery of celebrity advocacy. Originally intended as a video letter to Angelina Jolie (Special Envoy to UNHCR) but addressing the spectator instead, Herman Asselberghs presents a sort of notebook, an associative series of silent images and still thoughts, as he moves up close to the image, the screen and the viewer.
