Erschöpfung by Hannah Mevis

20. OcTOBER 2023 TO 28. JANUARY 2024

In Hannah Mevis’ first institutional solo exhibition, visitors can look forward to a multimedia exploration on the topic of exhaustion. The aim of the artistic work is to learn to understand the body as a unit, for its mind, emotions, feelings and form are inseparably connected. To do this, the artist works with different media such as a walk-in installation, sculptures made of materials such as 3D printing, glass, body imprints made of concrete as well as video works.

With Hannah Mevis we question how we perceive our bodies. The exhibition space becomes a space of possibility: the artist will also be offering workshops and other events
