WATER BODIES

Moors, lakes, rivers, the sea: water bodies are carriers of stories, meanings and hopes. Water is the basis for life and the future in the Anthropocene. Water is indispensable in the production of art. The artists have dealt with this theme in very different ways. Their strategies range from whistle blowing to reflection, documentation and shocking to healing approaches.
