Works in Paris (FR), works in Sana’a (YE).

David Gheron Tretiakoff (b. 1970) is a French filmmaker and visual artist who often focuses on contemporary political and social developments in the Middle East. As a researcher he does not reveal any journalistic truths, but rather evokes feelings of aversion. He not only exposes the psychological consequences of national oppression and international terrorism, but also reveals the almost impossible habituation that accompanies it. To achieve this, Tretiakoff confronts the viewer with a poignant discomfort.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
