The exhibition conceptualizes our planet in the Anthropocene as an endangered garden with finite resources, in which our activities have a profound impact on our basis of existence. On display are works from the fields of sculpture, photography and installation. Using found materials, they offer a long-term time dimension and point to the dilemma of the capitalist growth paradigm: that the long-term effects of our short-term profitable actions are not adequately taken into account.

With: Julian Charrière, Marjolijn Dijkman, Raphaël Fischer-Dieskau, Andreas Greiner, Robert Gschwantner, Spiros Hadjidjanos, Almut Linde, Ulrike Mohr, Mazenett Quiroga, Marike Schuurman, Raul Walch.

Design Sediments gathers together fourteen artists and designers who explore the contemporary dimensions of sedimentation and larger-than-human time scales. Through extensive explorations of objects and material as interrelated components of earth’s landscapes, the show positions cycles of extraction, production and destruction in relation to ecological and geological conditions.

The phrase “Why Not Ask Again” is a bid, and a query, whose ascending, joyously twisting arc embraces the maneuvers, disputations and stories that contain and encode the turbulences and transports of our time. A listener eavesdropping on deep space walks out of the pages of the recent sci-fi novel, The Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin. A wanderer steps out into the deep time of eternity and the straight path of a police bullet in the terminal sequence of the picaresque Bengali film Jukti, Takko aar Gappo from 1974 by Ritwik Ghatak. They embody the spirit of a mobile triangulation between reason, intuition and the fabulous that the Biennale seeks to discover, transmit, and learn from. Chief curators – Raqs Media Collective.
