Every Epoch Dreams the Next, Solo Exhibition at Industra Brno, 2025, Czech Republic
Opening on August 28, 2025
The starting point for this video installation is an excerpt from a feature film from the communist era in Albania. In a dream-like scene in the film, a boy dreams of a modern city
in which progress and change are represented by buildings and sealing. The exhibition interweaves historical communist material on urban development with current material on construction projects in Tirana and examines how visual narratives serve to influence social, political and economic structures. In the Installation, the dream serves as a space of agency in which historical and social inscriptions as well as constellations, transformations and connections between different epochs and systems merge.
ONGOING
Museum der Moderne Salzburg - Der Raum in unseren Köpfen, 2024, Austria
September 17, 2024 – February 2, 2025, Mönchsberg, level 3
This series of exhibitions cuts across different periods and different media to address these questions, and is founded on two basic motifs: on space as a social structure, and play as a metaphor for social interaction. While the social space is understood as the coexistence and togetherness of human beings – also in relation to Nature – the purpose-free, enjoyable nature of play is seen here as a means of learning the rules and systems of our reality while also thwarting and altering them. By bringing the works in the collections together from this perspective, the Museum enables a comprehensive view of homo ludens and homo socialis, of human beings who experience and shape the world as playful, social beings.
Curators: Barbara Herzog, Harald Krejci, Tina Teufel
The exhibition catalogue is available at Hirmer Verlag.
