In the organizer's words:
Säulenordnung examines how architecture and art in public space not only depict power, but exercise it. At the center of Daphne Schüttkemper's sculptural works is the classical column - a constant symbol of state authority and colonial legitimacy from Greek antiquity to Prussian classicism and the monumental buildings of the Third Reich.
Schüttkemper focuses on architectural elements of the urban space: the column as a claim to power turned into stone, lions and eagles as silent guardians of colonial exoticism and national symbolic politics. Her works ask how this formal language not only represented domination, but also created and normalized it.
In Germany, order is not an aesthetic ideal, but a moral one. Schüttkemper makes visible what disappears in the process.
