Exhibition: "I sought my soul"

The basic idea is that in a globally mixed period, there is an increased longing for otherworldly and collective guidance. Spirituality, astrology, new religions, and mysticism have become increasingly socially acceptable. In a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, the question of identity and the self is being fundamentally reexamined. Through the work of eleven artists, "I sought my soul" examines the phenomenon of a new autonomy in a utopia of unity: of ethnic and social origin, sexuality, technological progress, spiritual awakening, religion, and worldview. As in Blake's quote, the exhibition at St. Elisabeth's Church in Berlin focuses on the elements of community and mutual aid. The singular society living in simulation recedes into the background. Instead of resigning themselves to technological progress and global irritation, the artists take a progressive approach to the future. The here and now is linked to the world of technology, artificial intelligence becomes part of identity, in a fluid transition with the question of gender and origin.
