"This artistic work is dedicated to Gaza and the people of Gaza.
A fragment in the contours of Gaza. The fragment of a multi-layered, painted-over and sprayed-over identity, removed from its context, isolated from the rest of the world. The many layers tell stories of diverse experiences and events, of displacement, oppression and violence, of attempts at overwriting and erasure, but also stories of humanity and love, of the struggle for survival and the struggle for one another.
I worked on the fragment, scraping away layers and exposing others, leaving some untouched, others remaining hidden, digging here, scratching there. Thinking of Gaza, it was an emotional and painful process. When I think of Gaza, I feel desperate and helpless, angry and sad. How must the people there feel? They tell us, reporting daily, sharing their experiences with us, their blood and tears, their destroyed homes, their murdered children, the constant threat from above, from the side, the hunger and fear from within, and the experience of being left alone, isolated. But they also share their laughter, their incredible vitality and love in the face of destruction, their songs and dances and their hope and strength and beauty, their precious souls.
Gaza reveals the consequences of fanatical fantasies of superiority and claims of ownership, of racism and ideology, as bluntly revealed and mercilessly practiced by the extreme right-wing government in Israel. It reveals our failure, the failure of the international community, of international law, and of universal human rights. It reveals the hypocrisy, especially of Western states, which otherwise hold human rights in such high regard, but make an exception for Gaza. But it also reveals true humanity and the will to live, it reveals the power of culture, of music and art. And it reveals a new force of solidarity and resistance against the logic of dehumanization and ignorance."
"The exhibition Zeitwellen aims to revitalize the Fläming region in Saxony-Anhalt as a center for culture and art. With the help of contemporary art contributions and artistic positions, the beautiful Elbe landscape is to be enriched as a lively meeting place for culture and art.
Against the backdrop of the history of the Simonetti House, the exhibition explores the convergence of different temporalities. Conceived as a contemplative journey, the exhibition aims to become a meeting place where different layers of time interweave. In this context, time is presented not as a continuous line, but as a fragmented network, laden with absences, resonances, and persistence. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on how the narratives of the past inhabit the present, are reactivated, transform, and enter into dialogue with emerging realities.
The exhibition is curated by artists Barbara Bielitz and Mariana Sola and will take place at Simonetti Haus as part of FLAKUPA from October 12, 2025, to November 1, 2025."
