Anri Sala is the Artist in Focus during the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2005. Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen presents recent video installations and photos from this French, Albanian-born artist, from January 26 until February 20. In addition, some five works by Sala will appear unannounced in the main programme of the Film Festival itself.

In spite of his use of a sober visual language, Sala deliberately and cunningly uses the opportunities offered by the medium of film. His camera work is usually static, while in his most recent work, sound – or the lack thereof – takes an increasingly prominent role. By way of the near autonomous use of cinematic means, Sala provides his installations with a subtle detail that makes the images, the filmed elements, break free from the everyday reality they are part of.
