Episode 5
insitu, Berlin
In the beginning. The exhibition focuses on different ways of how a narrative can be constructed as well as on how factors like expectations and curiosity influence our inner need to imagine a possible story.
For centuries humans have used storytelling as a form of knowledge transmission.
Studies have shown that any content which is mediated by a lively and interesting story is perceived with much more intense focus and concentration. With the group show “Episode 5: in the beginning” insitu presents six artists, whose works are strongly dealing with the notion of storytelling.
The artists use narrative techniques to convey their own interpretation of an existing story or invent a totally new storyline. The exhibition focuses on different ways of how a narrative can be constructed as well as on how factors like expectations and curiosity influence our inner need to imagine a possible story.
Through different means, such as written text, oration or cinematographic fictions the artists analyze the process of transmission of information, the mystification of reality and the power of association.
Artists on show: Alexandra Baumgartner / Robert Devriendt / Sophie Jung / Mahony / Agnieszka Polska /
