Berlin, we should talk 03 - Gabi Ngcobo and Las Nietas de Nonó
Jan Pfeiffer
Jan Pfeiffer's exhibition explores how architecture and urban spaces preserve the energy and ideas that have been imprinted on them, tracing the author's journey from personal experiences to universal symbols. Using black-and-white photographs and models, he intuitively connects distant elements—from a flame in Ramallah to the crown of the Old Town Bridge Tower—into a poetic construction about architectural "springs."
Tomáš Vobořil
The alibi of the Czechoslovaks, which historically exempted them from responsibility for the era of European colonialism, is seriously undermined if we take a closer look at some episodes of Czechoslovak history and if we revise the attitude that Czechoslovak citizens took towards colonies and their people and what orientalizing ideas they created. This attitude certainly does not apply only to non-European people and cultures, but also within Europe itself, as Vobořil demonstrates in his work.
