DOK Neuland: Fluxusopolis
Welcome to Fluxusopolis, the city of change, where nothing ever stays the same. Buildings go up, shops shut down, people come and go. At this year’s DOK Leipzig Extended Reality exhibition, we take a moment to observe change as it happens. Because the projects working in Fluxusopolis cannot stand still. Each one, in its unique way, pokes at stagnation. This year’s programme showcases films and experiences with no known beginning or end, and projects that constantly evolve: experiences which fly with birds and flow under the sea, which bring transformation to centre stage, and which turn the world as we know it upside down. There are installations and 360° films, augmented reality experiences and games, all of which relate to the constant flow of life, through grief and through joy. This year we will also show “Traces of Responsibility” as a DOK Neuland Interactive Cinema special. This participatory film puts the editorial power in the hands of the audience, who democratically decide which scene comes next.
In line with its nature, Fluxusopolis is decentralised, spread out around the city, with a path leading from the centre to the south of Leipzig. Each of the four locations stands as a pillar of the exhibition as a whole. At the Cinémathèque, “Tales of a Nomadic City” ask us to reconsider familiar concepts, such as what makes a city. The projects at the Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig play with the physics of it all, shifting our relationship with motion and scale. At the Galerie KUB, through “Nothing Can Ever Be the Same”, we learn to play with new partners, such as machines, who will teach us to change the way we see and think. At the Hauptbahnhof, we will encounter projects where all are welcome; projects which inspire a pluralist environment and a colourful future.

With “Traces of Responsibility”, DOK Neuland presents an important film which dives into Rwanda 30 years after the genocide. Each viewing is a unique experience, as the audience becomes involved in the editorial process. Using an app, viewers vote what happens next, democratically electing the following scene. In this film, each voice is important, both in the cinema and on the screen.
