NOVUM ASPECTUM
NOVUM ASPECTUM
The exhibition invites you to see the world with different eyes. At a time when the flood of information and visual impressions often leads to a uniform, almost automated way of seeing, the exhibition asks: How does our perception change when we break out of familiar patterns and take on different perspectives? The works on display open up unexpected angles and invite you to question and expand your own view. In his new series of photographs on the marketplace, Steven Cruz focuses, showing how a district of Lisbon, steeped in history and emotion, was pushed into the shadows of its own existence during the reconstruction in 2001 and lost its soul to urbanization. In the arcades, towards the church, the artist Emilie Vialet takes us to European zoos, where our gaze is drawn to the ‘naturalness’ in artificial environments. In the garden opposite the church, Samantha Wilvert shows us her photo documentary of the world of children living in Le Corbusier's Cité Radieuse in Briey. Jörg Auzinger's photo series in the arcades of the Grand-Rue creates spaces in terms of both visual appearance and content that go beyond superficial observation and serve as food for thought. Associations and memories are given space and the perception of reality is questioned. At eye level with the city pigeons, a change of perspective in the brewhouse garden. Luisa Maria Stagno's portraits of pigeons show the individuality, the richness of form and colour of the pigeons and invite us to rethink our perception of these animals. In the castle garden, we join the artist Raoul Ries on a journey to the south of France, where in 2023 the worst drought in decades has occurred. Climate change seems to be causing such events to become more frequent and extreme. Clervaux - Cité de l'image is extending the route with a new location at the train station, where the artist Letizia Romanini is creating a cartography of fragile spaces that are threatened with disappearance, evoking a sense of solastalgia, a longing for a bygone, unchanging environment. By exploring unfamiliar perspectives, everyday objects, landscapes and situations are rediscovered and their hidden facets revealed. The seven artists invite us to look at the world around us differently and to discover the unexpected in the familiar. Date and time: 7 October 2024 - 7 September 2025
