Ranging from the Light and Space Movement of the late 1960s, to works by contemporary artists like Dominique Gonzalez- Foerster and Cyprien Gaillard, and performances and workshops, this exhibition spans a panorama, featuring a great variety of immersive practices which dissolve categories of viewer and work and diminish the distance between subject and object. Immersive works can only be experienced in their own respective temporality – they need a phase of departure, of immersion and emergence for which the exhibition will develop a specific dramaturgy.

A group exhibition organized by Berliner Festspiele as part of the programme series Immersion, curated by Tino Sehgal and Thomas Oberender. Made possible by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the
Media.
