An abandoned drugstore with empty rows of shelves. Heart-shaped balloons floating through the exhibition. A room full of cupboards with children's songs playing inside. The FANTASY ISLAND exhibition brings together irritating works. Everyday scenarios and objects that initially appear familiar, but take on a surreal, sometimes uncanny character through subtle distortions.

The artist collective FORT, consisting of Alberta Niemann (*1982 in Bremen) and Jenny Kropp (*1978 in Frankfurt/Main), combines art and everyday life in a special way. They conjure up stories of impressive intensity with pointedly applied means. Her works oscillate between humorous lightness and poetic depth.

FANTASY ISLAND presents a wide range of the artistic work of the internationally renowned artist collective on over 800 m², from large-format sculptures and enigmatic objects to a large, expansive sound installation that was specially developed for Bremen. What the works have in common is an atmosphere of melancholy, a feeling of loss and loneliness that many people can currently share.
