"How can we perceive that something lasts, that time passes?" This year's Caspar David Friedrich Prize winner, Isabell Alexandra Meldner, addresses this question in her exhibition "Time Takes too Long to Last".
Through site-specific spatial installations, she suggests different temporalities and makes them tangible. Latency, standstill, passing time and endless time form the subject of the exhibition by students of the HfBK Dresden. Raising awareness of the temporality of spatial experience serves as a structuring starting point: on the one hand, the solo exhibition brings together works from the last two years and places them in a new context; on the other hand, the installations have been specially developed for the space in the Caspar David Friedrich Centre. Curtains emphasise the living room character of the exhibition rooms. Shadows refer to the sun as an apparent source of light and its interaction with the architecture. Windows become pictures and vice versa. Through the recurring interweaving of the motifs of sky and curtain, the spatial states oscillate between orientation and disorientation, home and somewhere.
