How do we want to live (together)? The world is open to us today; the difference between near and far seems less crucial now, but what is our approach to these evolving spaces? Do they offer us a greater sense of community, or do they leave us behind, alone, and in a kind of ‘placelessness’?
With one picture each, 41 artists show their photographic visions of ‘being in the world’. These pictorial existences speak of utopian places and a feeling of home, a yearning for freedom and solace. The motifs will be printed on postcards. As visual cues, as a connecting medium, postcards have the advantage of materially ‘being in the world’, unlike digital communication.
In a performative installation, visitors will be asked to explore the other in themselves in writing, which they have perhaps long neglected. Selecting a postcard, writing and sending it to this addressee, is dedicated to the awareness that we ourselves have always been an other, and thus a component of this world.
