The series One Object, Many Questions focuses specifically on a single object – be it an object in an exhibition or an entire room! In a discussion with an expert, exciting topics are explored that may not be dealt with in detail in the exhibition itself. This can be about the production technique or the symbolic meaning, about previous owners or an object biography, about the knowledge stored in the object or its special charisma. By looking at an object from different perspectives, the complexity and contradictory nature of exhibitions becomes clear, as does the dependence of the meaning of an individual object on its context.
The discussion takes place directly in the exhibitions and is open to your questions and observations.
