Du Zhenjun. Babel World
09 Feb - 04 Aug 2013
An exhibition at the ZKM | Media Museum
Opening: Fri, February 8, 2013, 7 p.m., ZKM_Foyer
Since the beginning of the 1990s the Shanghai-born and Paris-based artist Du Zhenjun has drawn attention, by way of his interactive works, to the individual as well as social conditions of a world influenced by turbo capitalism and globalization.
In the exhibition “Du Zhenjun. Babel-world” at the ZKM | Karlsruhe, his large-scale work series BABEL, composed of photographic work, demonstrates that turning the world into new Towers of Babel, he presents a contemporary version of the apokalypse: barely having the new tower-symbols of newly gained wealth and superpower been built, than they are already on fire and the earth is flooded.
