Twelve students and graduates of the Academy of Visual Arts (HGB) present their work at the spectacular bridge loft above the river Weiße Elster. Some of the selected works evoke associations with light, shine and lightness, some show different nuances of materiality, others suggest fragility, illusion and metamorphosis.

Ever since Jessica woke up by a loud bang, she has had trouble sleeping. Again and again she hears this mysterious noise that nobody else seems to notice. She travels to Bogotá and tries to track it. Tilda Swinton and director Apichatpong Weerasethakul take the audience on an audiovisual journey and present an indescribable experience made for the cinema.
New York 9/11 – War in Times of Peace
Current exhibition
Panometer Leipzig
https://www.panometer.de/en/leipzig/our-exhibitions
The path through the exhibition offers a chronological journey through the past 20 years, all the way back to 11th September 2001. Five installations start by visualising the less visible consequences of that fateful day: the suffering caused in war-torn countries in the Middle East, the huge follow-up costs of the war on terror, the fates of the refugees and witnesses, the nameless victims of torture, the hostilities and the persecution which were all a direct consequence of 9/11. At the end of the chronology, the NEW YORK 9/11 panorama shows the scene at the World Trade Center on the morning of 11th September 2001 at 08:41, five minutes before the attacks took place.
