Romanticism 2.0

upcoming exhibitions

For her miniature collages, Magdalena Hohlweg collects trivial remnants wherever she goes and stands. The very last questionable crumbs, picked up from sidewalks and forest paths, are elevated to art here. Precise alignment and fixation as well as additions with fine line drawings – the result is a panopticon of unique characters that amaze and enchant as confusingly real-looking insects or tiny bird creatures. Despite fragile pieces of plastic or paper on scrawny plant remains – the small scenes have something extremely aesthetic about them.

But isn’t this an outdated and romantic view of a paradisiacal world that no longer exists? Don’t we need new paths and perspectives?

Absolutely! Magdalena Hohlweg takes us on her hopeful search for it. And not in distant places of longing, but where we are walking and standing right now. It is crucial for our human survival that we relearn how to treat nature and ourselves with appreciation. It is time to realign ourselves. We can look at everything anew and with more empathy.

It’s time for romance 2.0
