INFINITY
A walk through Aby Warburg's Image Collection of the History of Astrology and Astronomy at the Planetarium with City Curator Joanna Warsza (EN/DE), to explore humanity's quest to read the stars in order to find our place on Earth. The City Curator Hamburg presents the only exhibition ever personally made by Aby Warburg for the Planetarium Hamburg, highlighting its connections to Infinity. Its contents were long considered lost and were rediscovered only in the late 1980s. Set out as an elliptical journey, the exhibition inquires into how the spiritual and the rational – both essential to human wellbeing – can be brought together and how humans have always looked into the stars to understand our life on Earth.
