Transience and Memory:
The Photographic Narratives of Climate Crisis
The exhibition brings together the work of Ana Zibelnik, Immortality is Commonplace (2022), and Fault Line (2023 – ongoing), a collaboration with Jakob Ganslmeier. The two series address the effects of climate crisis and climate anxiety.
Immortality is Commonplace examines the changing role of photography in the face of the climate crisis. As humans feel a psychological urge to preserve the past while facing the threat of extinction, Zibelnik asks what it means to live in end times. Her fascination with lichens, which are biologically immortal, poses the question as to who is documenting whom: are we recording nature, or is nature recording us?
Fault Line, on the other hand, invites the viewer to take a critical look at the aftermath of natural disasters, responses from the far right, youth movements, and immigration policies. While the photographs speak for themselves, journal entries and interviews offer a more nuanced view of societal tensions. Together, the works ask whether Europe will collapse under the weight of the climate crisis, or will be able to find a shared narrative that unites us.
