Genesis
»Why is there being at all – rather than nothing?«
[Martin Heidegger 1929]
Is the cosmos a merciless, cold place – chaotic, indifferent, dead? Is it a living network of relationships, imbued with energy, beauty and spirit? Is it a place of violence or love?
GENESIS presents artistic positions from India, South America, Africa and Europe on the question of creation – with handcrafted and AI-generated, musical, pictorial and videographic works by Lavanya Honeyseeda, Embokazomanga, J.Plankton, Tim Ra, Kasimir, Livi and Inö.
The universe appears either as destructive and cruel, as impotent suffering – or as love, lust, ecstasy, birth and growth.
At the center of the exhibition is the invisible altar of gratitude designed by the Colombian shaman Inö, which is understood as a creative, productive attitude, as an attitude of creation – as an inexhaustible source of abundance. Just like creation itself.
Whatever it means to be.
