LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.- “Danube Exodus: The Rippling Currents of the River” is currently on view at the Getty Center, until September 29. Hungarian artist Péter Forgács combines his own film-based work with materials from the collections of the Getty Research Institute and other lenders to create a multi-media interactive installation that inserts visitors within a stream of historical moments and personal memories of the Eastern European Jewish exodus along the Danube River. For this, he uses film footage, maps and photo albums. The exhibition incorporates the amateur film footage of Captain Nándor Andrásovits, who ferried Eastern European Jewish refugees along the Danube River from Slovakia to the Black Sea (and eventually Palestine) in 1939. This narrative is paralleled by a "reverse" exodus that took place one year later, when Bessarabian Germans fled to the Third Reich because of the Soviet annexation of Bessarabia. Through sound, moving images, large-scale projections, touch-screen maps, and archival materials that include postcards, photo albums, and a three-volume illustrated survey of the Danube published in 1726, visitors will be immersed in stories of displacement narrated from a range of perspectives.
