29.5.–10.6.2025

Nabil Aniss, Céline Struger, Sofiia Yesakova

Three artists explore existential questions by addressing religious symbols, mythology, and traditions to reflect on contemporary crises. Céline Struger delves into resurrection mythology, focusing on life, death, and the afterlife as a continuation and rebirth, challenging conventional views of eternity. Sofiia Yesakova examines death through postwar monuments, exploring society’s adaptation to loss and the transformation of victims into statistics, raising questions about memory and oblivion. Nabil Aniss, in his film Structures and Positions, engages with Foucault’s philosophy, exploring the “utopian body” at the intersection of the political and personal, highlighting how bodies are controlled, manipulated, or destroyed by social and political structures. Their works share a common aim: to understand the present through loss, transformation, and the confrontation with death, power, and control, raising vital questions about human existence and social responsibility.
