Light Is Time Thinking About Itself – Viewing Room

‘Light is Time Thinking About Itself’ speaks about landscapes without the presence of humankind. The artist Antje Liemann takes our recent lockdowns –with their home-isolation ad absurdum – as the starting point for imagining a differently calibrated world, looking forward to the possibility of the end of humankind’s domination over the earth. Through interactions with experts and artists, the project asks if there is still time left to rethink our relationship with the world, or if the belief in the sovereignty of humankind has brought us to the brink of collapse of our living conditions. A series of workshops under the guidance of the artist accompanies the exhibition, inviting participants to take this ‘temporary closure of the world’ as a starting point for the creation of objects or paintings.
