The Danube Exodus, a multi-screen interactive installation that premiered at the Getty Center in 2002 and that was based on a film by Peter Forgacs, is returning to California at the Judah L.Magnes Museum in Berkeley.
Co-produced by Forgacs and The Labyrinth Project at USC's Annenberg Center, this work explores the displacement of ethnic minorities during World War II. Visitors are immediately immersed in three interwoven historical narratives projected on five screens and accessible through a touchscreen monitor. One tells of Eastern European Jews fleeing Nazi persecution in 1939, the second focuses on Bessarabian German farmers returning to their homeland in 1940, and the third tells of the Hungarian river captain, who transported both groups to safety and documented their journeys on film.
