BERLIN, GERMANY.- Pavel Braila's exhibition “Barons´Hill” at the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin . Until February 25th, the installation is visible until 2 o`clock in the morning. During the 2007 Berlinale, the Neue Nationalgalerie’s upper, ground-floor exhibition space will host Pavel Braila, a video artist originally from Moldavia and participant in the German Academic Exchange Service’s (DAAD) Berlin Artists-in-Residence programme.

The exhibition is a co-operation between the Artist-in-Residence Programme / DAAD and the Nationalgalerie, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin.Within this framework, Pavel Braila will present his 2005 work “Barons’ Hill” to a German audience for the first time. This six-part video work showcases a new and vainglorious Sinti and Roma architecture currently arising in Moldavia characterised by a hubris of stylistic elements from the history of architecture. Pavel Braila’s camera seems to stroll along the facades and through the rooms of these uninhabited houses. The use of slow motion adds to the pathos of the images, emphasized still more in the overall presentation by the form of two triptychs. Music by Johann Sebastian Bach underscores the production.
