The True Cross is a series of motion portraits and films created by the Ethiopian art collective Yatreda. Volume 7 of The Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s Remembrance of Things Future initiative, in which contemporary artists experimenting with blockchain technology are invited to respond to works in the museum’s permanent collection, The True Cross is Yatreda’s homage to a historic thirteenth century bronze cross from the Zagwe Dynasty, within LACMA’s encyclopedic collection. Made in support of LACMA's Art and Technology Lab in collaboration with Cactoid Labs, The True Cross is an intimate exploration into the origins behind a mystical vision at the root.
