Agenda

Remembering and forgetting are ever-present features of life. The exhibition playfully reveals the manifold practices people rely on to recall specific moments in life, from birth to death, but also to forget about them. War and peace, colonialism and independence: the exhibits on display show similarities and differences in how significant events in society are passed on by word of mouth, carved in stone, or, as the case may be, never disclosed.

The  project is devoted to emerging international photography and will be holding its fourth event. The 2020 exhibition offers an overview of 2005, 2010 and 2015 shows and a reflection on the future by 35 works selected from among the 257 applications.

In Roman times there were only the hours, not minutes and seconds. Since the industrial revolution and the development of transport, the hours have also been divided into (60) minutes of 60 seconds. The current rhythm of life is therefore completely different. Deadlines, timetables, exact departure times for transport and alarm clocks determine the rhythm. It is this tension between human time and chronometry that is at the heart of this exhibition (le temps et moi) from Roman times to the present day.
