The cross-generational group show Sun Rise | Sun Set brings together contemporary, as well as 19th and 20th century artists, and aims to reconfigure our relationship to the Earth and all its inhabitants by nourishing the ever-changing relationship between humans, animals, plants, inanimate objects, technologies and non-beings. The exhibited works guide us through surreal landscapes, biotechnical hybrids, futuristic scenarios and speculative concepts, and create an other-worldly experience that counters the current dark season of restriction, uncertainty, and loss. At a moment in which the planet’s habitability is becoming increasingly compromised due to human activity, the exhibition addresses the collective necessity to redefine our role as part of a whole and to find new ways of living in the world by rethinking the boundaries of our species and welcoming hybridity in all forms. Following the notion of circular systems and entangled, multispecies perspectives, Sun Rise I Sun Set highlights the inextricable links between humans and their nonhuman environment and encourages alternative attitudes that aim for the procreation and regeneration of the Earth to come.
