The artist Fiona Tan is one of the most outstanding contemporary artists. The exhibition "Geography of Time" focuses on major works from her cinematic oeuvre - such as the double projection "Rise and Fall" - as well as the latest development in her work towards installation environments.
"With this project, the MMK continues its programmatic orientation of showing 'mid-career' exhibitions by international artists together with new works and relating these to the architecture of the museum," says Prof. Susanne Gaensheimer, Director of the MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst, about the exhibition.
Fiona Tan has transformed the ground floor of MMK 1 into a parcours in which video projections, audio and sculptural works combine to create a dense reflection on the individual in a globalized world that is coming apart at the seams. Central questions about human identity in the 21st century are raised: How do we see ourselves and what determines our perspective on the other? In cinematically impressive images and installations, Tan tells of how our own memories shape our understanding of the past, present and future. In her visual worlds, the boundaries between personal and collective memory, inside and outside, fiction and reality dissolve.
