Description

Video installation by Aziz + Cucher, In Some Country Under A Sun And Some Clouds (8-channel video installation, 2012. Installation view, Indianapolis Museum of Art). The image illustrates a major body of work in Aziz + Cucher's later career in the 2010s, when they expanded from digital photographic works into videos and multi-channel video installations that engaged geopolitical conflict and history. This work is one of four videos from their "Some People" exhibition of 2012. Its multiple screens each depict a person in post-apocalyptic-like attire contorted unnaturally as if in paralysis before a vast desert—a commentary on the hardening of fixed ideological positions. The installation was were publicly staged in prominent venues and discussed in major art journals and daily press publications.

Low resolution?

Yes. The image will not affect the commercial value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original due to its low resolution and the general workings of the art market, which values the actual work of art. Because of the low resolution, illegal copies could not be made.

Purpose of use

The image has contextual significance serving an educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key body of work in Aziz + Cucher's later career: their videos and multi-channel video installations, which shifted from earlier concerns with the body and technology to a more geopolitical focus, examining global conflict, history and their own personal connections to such events globalization. These non-narrative, stylistically diverse works often use footage shot during travels through conflict-fraught areas—Israel, Lebanon, Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia—and explore the tragicomic in relation to everyday life, notions of progress, ideology and art. Because the article is about artists and their work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to understand this later body of work and new medium, which brought Aziz + Cucher new recognition through exhibitions in major venues, coverage by major critics and publications, and museum commissions. Aziz + Cucher's work of this type and this series, as well as this specific work, are discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.

Replaceable?

There is no free equivalent of this or any other of this series by Aziz + Cucher, so the image cannot be replaced by a free image.

Other information

The image use is minimal in that it conveys important information that a full artwork image at a limited fair-use size cannot due to the uniquely hyper-detailed nature of the work. By providing a close-up of the artist's style and imagery, it is significantly more informative for a viewer. It is also a further protection (along with the low resolution) against affecting commercial value.
