The Empty Green | Scope BLN, Berlin
Solo exhibition, 2024
We are facing the "great unknown" - a time saturated by rapid technological development, algorithms, artificial intelligence and overflowing streams of data. We as humans are experiencing a tangible turn in our collective behaviour, a shift towards new cognitive states. How can a tiny individual observe and understand such a change, a significant moment in time while still inside it?
The Empty Green is a multidisciplinary body of work observing humanity inside digital transformation. Studying the often-absurd nature of this ongoing process, this exhibition is a first attempt to more closely examine the complexity of the contemporary self, deconstructing a vast horizon into smaller points of focus. Looking at the shift happening around us and focusing on identity, memory, self-image and subjectivity, I observe my personal and rather complicated relation to the digital world.
The exhibition is a multimedia installation composed mainly of photography and video. A study of the self, consisting of different approaches to identify myself in relation to surrounding realities. Compiled from three different series developed over a span of more than a decade, the works provide different views into the peculiar nature of the modern psyche.
