Spolia. Vom Gedächtnis der Dinge - Skulpturen von Myriam Schahabian
In the organizer's words:
The term "spolia" - or spolia - refers to architectural elements that originate from buildings of older cultures and have been reused in new buildings. As remnants of a past culture, spolia build bridges to the present.
- Myriam Schahabian (born 1965) assembles her works into a landscape of spolia. Transferred into sculptures or translated into picture panels, fragments of traditional images and words from Persian painting, architecture and writing are given a new raison d'être.
In the newly contextualized combination of form and decoration, the work challenges the viewer's perception and provides food for thought. The message is easy to decipher: Only the resilience of culture, its permanence and beauty, awakens the rebellious spirit of resistance against any political repression, against war, violence and death.
