Realities Left Vacant
Realities Left Vacant presents works by the 11 international artists awarded the 2022 visual arts work stipend of the Berlin Senate. The exhibition shows the diversity of their individual artistic approaches while highlighting the broader social issues and contemporary image politics that shape them.
Realities Left Vacant brings together works that explore the infrastructures of seeing and experiencing. They critically examine habits of seeing that shape our perception, as well as material and immaterial structures that play host to both coexistence and conflict. For the artists of Realities Left Vacant, these conditions are always politically informed.
The artworks address questions of origin, belonging, and the relationship between collective and individual memory and investigate the influence of geopolitical conflicts and the global climate crisis on access to infrastructures. Drawing on documentary and investigative practices, archive-based research, biographical narratives, and the image politics permeating the mass media, they call for an engagement with power structures, colonial legacies, and mechanisms of value creation.
