"Tomorrow will be today": exhibition in the town hall pavilion
09.05.2023
Experiences are remembered, sometimes even very precisely. Or are they not? The exhibition "Tomorrow will be today", which can be seen daily from 2 to 8 p.m. in the town hall pavilion until Saturday, May 13, deals with continuity in the realm of memories and the moment of deception and erroneous updating, but also the protective cloak of forgetting. The artists Lea Kulens, Sinah Osner, Franziska Pütz and Tatiana Vdovenko deal in different ways with the theme of remembering, the reconstruction of missing memories or their active erasure. To this end, they use the possibilities of the medium of photography, which makes it possible to capture the moment. Artistically, but also in private contexts, which often manifest themselves in tons of family albums. Today, in the age of social media, photography is more present than ever before and is used far beyond artistic spheres for the disappearing and wasteful production of memory material.
In her work "Oskar - bestellt und noch nicht abgeholt", Lea Kulens breathes life into abandoned objects with pinhole cameras and lets them tell their last story. Sinah Osner's work "Thoughts on the fullness of nothingness" builds an astonishing visual network of memory fragments and documents a never-ending search. Franziska Pütz provides an intimate insight into relationship constellations and processing procedures in "Ich mochte euch mal" through a radical approach to image content and material. Finally, "Waterlines" by Tatiana Vdovenko confronts the viewer with destruction and the aesthetics inherent in chaos. Simon Lunkenheimer provides support as a student of aesthetics and philosophy, musician and curator.
