A Fragment of Eden: A Project within Open Worlds
The artist Malte Taffner has realized the exhibition project A Fragment of Eden for the Kestner Gesellschaft as part of the joint project Open Worlds.
A Fragment of Eden explores spaces of a symbiotic future in which humans are no longer viewed separately from the natural ecosystem. The artworks open up fictional possibilities and pose questions about the city of the future: What could it look like? How do we want to design it?
In addition to the installation on Goseriedeplatz, the joint project includes four satellite works by the artists Nike K眉hn, Collectif Grapain, Malte Taffner, Lea Sch眉rmann, and Christian Holl on Goseriedeplatz and Waterlooplatz and at the Dornr枚schenbr眉cke and the Welfengarten. The four satellites will rotate through the city of Hanover at regular intervals for four months. There is also an app that visitors can use to navigate from place to place, learn about the artworks, find the locations, and interact with the works and other visitors by chat.
A Fragment of Eden is the third project in Open Worlds, the research project by the Museum f眉r Gegenwartskunst Siegen, the Kestner Gesellschaft in Hanover, IMAGINE THE CITY in Hamburg, and Marta Herford. Together with artists, curators, and users, the four institutions for contemporary art develop digital tours and artistic stagings in urban spaces which combine physical and virtual experiences.
