ATLAS explores the crossing between distant geographies of the past and the experiences of contemporary diasporas. These temporal and spatial layers are approached as a living cartography, a fluid formation constructed by movement and transitions.
The central reference point of the exhibition is the word “atlas” itself.
In Ukrainian (Атлас) and Syrian Arabic (أطلس), it refers to the idea of orientation and the layering of knowledge. In the early 2000s, when the Internet was rapidly developing but could not yet offer real-time access to the world, physical atlases remained one of the key tools for the study of history, economy, and global geography.
ATLAS questions the modernist idea of “stable cartography” in the context of migration, technological development, and current geopolitical realities through the perspectives of Ukrainian and Syrian artists living and working in Germany.
The exhibition collects the reflections on a contemporary system of knowledge, marked by instability and entangled with relations of power, measurement, and the circulation of images, personal and collective memory, and resources.
Working across video, installation, and sound, the artists compose a space as a subtle and poetic constellation.
Artists:
Anna Ivchenko
Dani Hasrouni
Razan Sabbagh
Vitalii Shupliak
