Pepa Hristova - Exhibition in Magdeburg
»What role does time play for our perception? How familiar is the everyday really?" The photographs by Michael Wesely, Pepa Hristova and Joel Sternfeld give very different answers to these questions. These are just three of the artistic positions in this exhibition. The visitor will come across different subjects and particular expressions of the used media, including photography, video, painting, installation and object, and, captured in these, what is perhaps the most difficult to describe phenomena of our existence - time.
Exhibition: 19. January 2010 - 06 April 2010
