A red light spreads through the tiled interior of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, extending as far as the outside. In between, a bluish, glazed glow shimmers. Grit runs, time slips, flowers wilt.
The exhibition In Relation (ger.: Im Verhältnis) by Linnéa Meiners and Christof Zwiener features two installations. They are based on specific objects from the foundation's direct geographical and thematic sphere: Rosa Luxemburg's herbarium, which she maintained during her imprisonment in Wrocław despite the high walls that surrounded her, as well as a block-shaped bottle repurposed as a glass brick, which was found on the nearby construction site of the old Postbahnhof at Ostbahnhof.
The exhibition In Relation opens at the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung on 20 November at 6 pm.
Which relations unfold between these two objects? With great care and precision, Meiners and Zwiener explore and create the apparent infinity in between their two points of departure. In doing so, they devote themselves to questions about the capitalistic valorization of time and labor, the increasing distance between humans and the vegetation surrounding them, the alleged limitlessness of natural resources and the erosion of collective memory through (dis)visibility.
Both artists continually pour connections of time, substance and space into new and complex interrelationships. At times, it seems possible to capture them as a whole, while in the next moment, everything just bursts into a multitude of tiny fragments.
