It is an exhibition of quiet tones and at the same time of delicate, new stories that we should start telling in times of crisis and upheaval. Against the backdrop of climate change, threats to and exploitation of landscapes, forests and rivers, or migration as a result of extreme climatic or political situations, we need new narratives that may differ from the stories we have told so far. For, as the anthropologist Anna Tsing recently put it, we should be prepared today to do without the old narratives that could tell us where to go next.
The invited, internationally active artists make these subtle, new narratives possible, which place people in a new relationship between space, time and body. They tell of care and diligence in the coexistence of people and nature, but also of moving forward and the power of resilience, without ignoring current events. They provide a glimpse into the world of places in crisis and themes of vulnerability and loss, but also of trees, forest floors with mushroom cultures, rivers and landscapes full of beauty, poetry and the future.
