What is true – and what do we perceive as truth?

DIAMANT is a diamond-shaped sculpture placed in public space.

In “Vita Activa”, Jewish political philosopher Hannah Arendt writes that public space, a space that allows us to act and discuss political matters, does not exist a priori.

Public space needs to be enacted, and enacted continuously.

Where is our public space nowadays? Where do we come together to discuss common matters, political matters? Where do we examine our truths and our perceptions? Where do we construe our shared reality as people in a democracy?

Much of public space has shifted towards the digital world, a world where the individual can mask and hide, trolls play tricks, fake news distort our vision, and algorithm bubbles prevent us from entering constructive debate. Our pluralistic democracy gets weakened.

DIAMANT facilitates the enactment of public space in the physical world.
It unites us people in person and reminds us that every perspective on a matter is but one side of it.

The sculpture serves as a metaphor: Each side of the “diamond” represents one perspective on a topic. The matter is shaped by the perspectives on it. Just like a diamond, democracy is precious. It is strong. It can hold space for opposing opinions, and unite them under the principle of a pluralistic democracy.

Biography

Alice Bischof

Alice Bischof is a visual artist living and working in Berlin. With her artistic
concept NEUEREALITAET, she transcends the duality of in/tangible, in/visible and sub/conscious by translating everything into material reality through her works. NEUEREALITAET is a reality where everything exists at that same level: the material level. That way, perceived truths and perspectives become sides of a diamond whose core remains hidden.
