HOLY SHIT is an artistic exploration of the relationship between faith and the body, between devotion and exclusion, between the sacred and the everyday. The starting point is a place that stands like no other for the repressed, the intimate, the devalued: a disused toilet block. A room that once served as a place of need now becomes a temporary sacred space.
Earth’s Shadow, Moon’s Crust is an exhibition that explores the layered relationship between Earth and Moon. Taking the terrestrial viewpoint as a starting ground, it examines how our understanding of the cosmos is deeply entangled with natural, bodily, and cultural realms. Featuring works by Alice Dittmar and Stella Geppert alongside a program of live performances, the exhibition invites visitors to see the Moon not only as a distant celestial body, but as a mirror of our inner and earthly landscapes.
In the era of the New Space, Cosmopolitics argues that the cosmos is a common good belonging equally to all terrestrial entities. Treated as an infinite resource by private and governmental agents eager to exploit it, its actual finiteness calls for a collective stewardship, a democracy beyond national and anthropological boundaries.
In our society, the consumption of visual information is often characterised by algorithms that promote a one-sided representation. Those who profit from structural inequalities often control the dissemination of these images and reinforce existing stereotypes and interpretations. How can photography challenge biased truths, particularly in relation to identity?
Ulli Gabler and Dieter Ströbel transform the historic restroom facility at the Wildenbruchbrücke into a visually imaginative realm of possibilities. Employing mirrors and light tubes, they utilize a minimal selection of materials reminiscent of those found in similar locales.
Urban space permanently draws boundaries between inside and outside, intimate and public. The exhibition meet me being private oscillates between these spaces, between emotions of security and defenselessness.
The project You are among us, we are among you explores the theme of urban waters and shows the influence of humans on this habitat.
How can something as technical as Artificial Intelligence – often associated with our alienation from Nature – help us listen to and communicate with non-human beings?
A fictional exhibition, with traces of an imaginary underground space, while at the same the illusion of a running club is deconstructed and simulated.
The Kunstbrücke am Wildenbruch bears a tipping point. Originally serving as a public bathroom, it has now been converted into a public space for art, with the urinals being repurposed as ornamental pieces. The shift in the space’s significance prompts questions about its past and present meaning.
