Eight years have passed since the masterpiece that is 12 Years a Slave, the film that won the Oscar for Best Picture and was directed by Steve McQueen.
The British director in these days presented a preview of his latest film, in the unusual location of Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan, as part of the exhibition “Sunshine State“, which takes the name of the film. Just like the story starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Fassbender and Paul Dano and set in Louisiana, the new exhibition will pose questions about identity and the right to freedom of man.

Steve McQueen reflects on the human condition and its dramas, increasingly embroiled by the era in which we live. The immersive experience was curated by Vicente Todolí in collaboration with the TATE Modern in London, in order only the last major art institution to have collaborated with the director.
Exhibited in the Hangar space are six film works and one sculpture, which are developed in the spaces of the Naves and the Cube and on the exterior of the building, tracing McQueen’s artistic history of the last twenty years. A screen as mentioned projects a brand new video installation, commissioned and produced by the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) 2022.
