The Centre for Contemporary Images presents a solo exhibition of Christoph Draeger, featuring two video installations.

Action/Time//Vision was first shown in Ireland in 1999. This three-screen projection is based on Sergio Leone’s famous westerns, “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”. The duel scene is recreated, splitted on three screens; the spectators stand in the middle of the scene, they witness events that originally took place in different spaces and times.

Another installation “If 6 was 5” , shown on TV-monitor, is based upon “Dirty Harry”. Draeger’s works are fictions exploring the universe of masculine violence, and more generally of violence as expressed by men, but also by civilisation or by nature itself.

Christoph Draeger’s exhibition is supported by the Canton des Grisons.
