Public guided tour

03.11.2024, 15:00

Where do we come from? What is the origin of all matter on earth and in the infinity of the cosmos? What does it mean to recognise black holes in the centre of our galaxy, in which infinitely condensed matter creates a void and absence? What effects do natural events create that reshape the earth and change people’s lives with their power? And how do people deal with the existential need to face eternity in their finiteness? What myths and images do they create in order to connect with the spiritual? Is art a way of immortalising oneself in time?

These questions have shaped the imagination of us humans from prehistoric times to the present day. Ever since humans have existed on earth, they have invented symbols and signs to give form to their feelings, thoughts and knowledge, to leave traces in time and perhaps to connect with eternity.

In the guided tour of the exhibition The Presence of Absence: Matter and Traces – Imprints of Life in Time, Anita Lavorano, Curatorial Researcher, provides an overview of various exhibits from the fields of art and science that explore existential questions of human existence.

The tour costs 5 € in plus admission to the exhibtion. Registration is not necessary.

We look forward to seeing you!

Please note that the event will take place in German.
