Five years after the world has been convulsed by a global banking and financial crisis, Isaac Julien premiered his film Playtime to address an important question: can capital be rendered visible? The PalaisPopulaire and the Wemhöner Collection have joined forces to shed new light on Playtime from today’s perspective and to testify to the work’s topicality, as capital as a medium plays into almost all political, social and societal issues and influences the lives of nearly every human being on this planet.

This exhibition responds to the acquisitions DeutscheBank has made over the past decade, many of which are by artists from Africa and/or are of African descent. Curated by Kerryn Greenberg, this exhibition will be on view in two successive parts, the first opening in Spring 2023 and the second in Autumn 2023.
