  • NEW WORLDS – Vermisst die Welt

  • The sight of the rising sun, a moonlit night above the lofty cliffs, a lively party on the edge of the forest, two people on the beach: landscapes often show places of longing and memory. In the works, the viewer sees mountains, plains, forests, and seas. At the same time, however, the paintings and photographs make human experiences and desires visible. Despite temporal and spatial distance, they enable the viewer to experience the ineffable and the unreachable.
    While Camille Corot takes up the ancient narrative of a Golden Age (Arcadia) and has fauns dance around a temple, contemporary artists question landscape ideals such as paradise or untouched nature. Beate Gütschow, Katharina Fritsch, and Darren Almond use photographic means to address the rapture of the world through images by creating views of an imaginary reality. Those who miss the world begin to search for it, possibly penetrating deep into its vegetation and bedrock like Per Kirkeby.
