The question of human nature is probably itself already deeply human. At least according to the current state of science, we know of no creature on this planet that performs such an intensive self-examination. The search for man's role in the world and the meaning of his actions are inextricably linked with human history.
The exhibition juxtaposes the inner and outer contradictions of being human. It deals with questions of humanity and different ideas of what characterizes human nature. The project is composed of three intertwining strands. In addition to the exhibition element, there is a three-part film program whose composition changes every four weeks. This film rotation is accompanied by a performance and lecture program, and it is at those moments within the exhibition runtime that its constellation can change. The project’s organic structure with potential for evolution derives from the theme of the exhibition and the titular question. At the center is the attempt to approach the enigma that is man.
