LOVE
A walk through a public art exhibition FIRE at the St. Nikolai Memorial with the curator Joanna Warsza. It is dedicated to the element of fire, the apocalypse, and repair and presents a series of commissions by Hamburg-based and international artists that explore the political, ecological, and spiritual significance of fire in times of political urgency. These artworks, including a planetary mural by Cecilia Vicuña, ask how to find a way out from the vicious cycle of destruction and renewal towards a non-violent planetary co-existence, in which the love for the commons is understood as a politically effective act.
City Curator responds to the topics of the 9th Triennial of Photography Infinity, Alliance and Love in three chapters.
INFINITY: Two visits to Aby Warburg's Image Collection of the History of Astrology and Astronomy at the Planetarium explore humanity's quest to read the stars to find our place on Earth.
ALLIANCE: An artist talk with Luchezar Boyadjiev about his worldly photo collection of equestrian statues from which he 'removes' male rulers from their horses.
LOVE: A visit to the planetary mural of Cecilia Vicuña as part of the exhibition FIRE. From the Cosmos to the Commons at St. Nikolai Memorial, addressing current apocalypses and the visions of common futures.
