Curator Annika Hirsekorn gives a guided tour through the exhibition “Subliminalia” of Ornella Orlandini, Francesco Petruccelli and Jessica Rimondi.
In the exhibition, climate change takes on the role of a "hyperobject" that transcends the limits of human understanding and impressively shows us the greatness of nature.
The works analyze geological changes and relate them to the Kantian concept of the sublime and the current Nietzschean conception of the “will to power”.
The approach to the feeling of the sublime is seen as a possible change of direction: it leads us back to our human finitude by acting as a way out of an anthropocentric perspective. SUBLIMINALIA challenges us to question the traditional separation between humans and animals, organic and inorganic, and shows that overcoming the challenges of climate change also requires a transformation of our own perspectives.
Curator :
Ornella Orlandini studied Educational Sciences at the University of Turin (IT) with a dissertation in anthropology. She is currently studying and practicing shamanism.
She is a photographer and focused her artistic research focuses on themes of the development of the self in connection with the environment and nature. Her research is related to self-knowledge and feminine Consciousness while applying a performative method: she combines theoretical research with practical exploration and experience. Her photographic works are the result of her artistic process that also includes intimate performances and self-portraits.
She is currently working on a trilogy about consciousness from a female perspective, in which she explores possible paths for a renewed harmonious relationship with nature.
Francesco Petruccelli, Italian artist based in Berlin, worked for years as a cameraman and graduated in Humanities in Milan.
In 2010 he moved to Berlin, where he graduated in Fine Arts at the UdK.
He has been exhibiting his works in Germany and abroad since 2013.
For him, vandalism and iconoclasm are paradoxical ways to find new meanings. The process of destruction that his artworks have to undergo can reveal hidden identities, connections to aspects of the soul that can only become visible by a laceration of the epidermis of individuality.
His artistic research aims to question an idea of History as progress toward higher cultural values. He frequently uses materials related to garbage in order to establish an analogy between the supposedly highest human cultural achievements and the lowest state of objects - that of garbage.
In the end the cultural meaning of things can only reside in their very skin.
Jessica Rimondi is a Berlin-based Italian artist with international exposure.
She completed her painting studies at the Accademia Albertina in Turin and her mixed media studies at the University of Westminster London.
Her artwork of images and (sound) installations offers immersive, interactive and intimate experiences. Her main focus in painting is a mixed media technique, consisting of screen printing, monotype, oil and acrylic.
Her sound installations, mainly made of porcelain, sugar glass, salt, precious metals and bones, analyze and investigate the shift in material values over time and the social and historical structure of certain geographical regions.
