Zalando War Machine

When the first matter in the universe was created, just like when the lobbyist hall was created, a huge amount of energy was generated, which eventually exploded. The debris of objects slowly flies around the warehouse and time slows down irrevocably. The gloomy cyclicality of manual labor and the monotony of the dry air evoke photographs from a night warehouse. The connection between realities resembles a scene from an action movie. Inside, we find fragments of mathematical figures that connect these two worlds, as if science and technology could explain the problems of the present and at the same time hide within themselves the answer to what we actually mean to this system.

Zalando War Machine
In February 2019, documenta 15 issued a press release announcing the names of the artistic directors for the next edition of the world’s largest exhibition of art. The announcement included two historical firsts: The exhibition will not be organized by an individual as in the past, but by a collective (and, what is more, an artists’ collective), and this will be the first time since the exhibition’s founding in 1955 that it will be curated by representatives of the Asian continent.
