\u00bbWhy is there really being and not rather nothing?\u00ab
Martin Heidegger, 1929<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

At the beginning of the exhibition lies the fundamental question of metaphysics. GENESIS \u2014 DREAM 1 does not attempt to answer this question. Rather, the exhibition invites us to dream creation \u2014 in the form of different ways of experiencing and inhabiting reality; ways that can neither be proven nor disproven, but only experienced.<\/p>\n\n

One dream sees the cosmos as an indifferent process of becoming and passing away: a world without comfort, without addressees, without ultimate justification\u2014that disenchanted world described by Max Weber, in which existence no longer creates meaning. The other dream understands the same reality as an animated web of giving and receiving, as a fullness that ceaselessly gives itself away and in which everything is related to everything else.<\/p>\n\n

Both dreams are familiar to us. Sometimes the world appears silent and indifferent, sometimes animated and responsive. At times, these experiences shift not only over the course of a life but within a single day. GENESIS places both dreams side by side without seeking to reconcile them\u2014spaces of experience through which one passes to encounter the same question again and again.<\/p>\n\n

At the heart of the Lovelab, two works respond to each other: Above the invisible altar of gratitude, created by the Colombian shaman In\u00f6, float the butterflies of Lavanya Honeyseeda. The altar is to be understood as a creative, generative stance\u2014a stance of creation, an inexhaustible source of abundance. The butterflies, symbols of transformation, carry this silent gift into the space: gratitude that gains wings.<\/p>\n\n

GENESIS brings together handmade and AI-generated musical, visual, and video works from India, South America, Africa, and Europe \u2014 by Lavanya Honeyseeda, Embokazomanga, J.Plankton, Tim Ra, Kasimir, Livi, and In\u00f6.<\/p>\n\n
