ANIMAL

The video is available in German.
Philosophy lecturer and writer Mara-Daria Cojocaru ties in with themes from Yalda Afsah’s exhibition. The contribution ANIMAL is dedicated to the question, which scientific perspectives man uses to classify the animal world. What approaches and distinctions can be identified here? To what extent does the division into species and the dualism between humans and animals also present problems?

Karel Císař – Lecture Mathias Poledna
Exhibition Tour
Slide show
Mathias Poledna has created a complex, multi-layered body of work in which films, expansive installations and architectural interventions are in constant dialog with each other, where independent series of works, found objects and ephemeral materials all condense to form a singular artistic language. Central to his practice are questions of modernity, cultural memory and the visual imaginary in art and popular culture.
