The traveling exhibition Rituals of Solitude, conceived during the global lockdown, explores the spread of fake news, the reversal of the traditional relationship between private and public space, the paradoxical rituals that populate homes, the ways in which visual technologies are domesticated into tools of self-presentation and connection, the accumulation, fetishization, and display of objects in home interiors; and, in addition, the states of loneliness that arise as a result of forced isolation.
The group exhibition presents works in different media by emerging artists from Czech Republic, Poland and Germany that refer to folk and indigenous traditions, beliefs and crafts, magical thinking and animism, using the language of poetry, speculative theories and storytelling. Using these various approaches and narratives the artists explore topics related to letting go, unlearning, loss or mourning in the context of the individual and collective traumas.
