“I’m the space (that) I’m breathing”
Queer bodies are powerful manifestations of our identities that occupy, transform and redefine spaces.
I'm the space (that) I'm breathing brings together a selection of artists whose works address the complexity and importance of identity designs, utopias, lived realities, pain and beauty. The collection of works invites us to experience and reflect on the fluidity of queer identities.
In a system where white-supremacist, ableist, hetero- and cis-normative* structures still attempt to dominate, the videos presented offer powerful and individual counterpoints: They are expressions of resistance, activism, and sensitivity.
The artists represented in this exhibition come from different cultural backgrounds and each bring their own experiences and stories. Their works invite viewers to experience a wide range of perspectives and moods.
Each video is a window into the multi-layered realities that characterize queerfeminist perspectives. The different videos tell of the exploration of one's own identity, the reflection of social injustices, of playful and utopian world designs, of fluidity in being, collective connectedness and the power of self-determination. Different stylistic devices and narrative forms are used to unite the diversity of artistic expression in queer windows.
The works shown in I'm the space (that) I'm breathing make it clear that queerfeminist art not only responds to social challenges, but is also a powerful source of inspiration and change.

VIDEONALE.20
Festival: 11. April — 18. May 2025
Kunstmuseum Bonn
The Videonale – Festival for Video and Time-Based Arts is celebrating its 20th edition from April 11 to May 18, 2025 (Opening: April 10 / Opening Days: April 11 – 13, 2025).
The Videonale has taken place since 2005 in the Kunstmuseum Bonn as a place for the presentation and mediation of art, with its specific architecture and its points of reference relating to content; an environment that challenges us again and again in a positive sense and poses questions of how we ourselves would like to act at this place: what new solutions for the presentation of audiovisual art, both scenographic and artistic, can be developed in relation to the spatial circumstances of this location? How do we as a festival wish to shape encounters with audiovisual art here? How can we make the museum space more permeable and create new contact zones between works, artists, and a diverse public? What new interrelationships can we produce between the museum and the surrounding urban environs? In this, we are guided by our deep conviction that the varied and current themes, aesthetics, and work methods of audiovisual art can serve as an invitation for many to interact with this artform and its content at entirely distinct levels.
Once again for VIDEONALE.20, the exhibition at Kunstmuseum Bonn will be the starting point of the festival happenings. It will be expanded upon during its six-week duration through permanent and temporary satellites in the city.
