LOST IN FINITY

This summer, silent green dedicates a major solo exhibition to the artist Bjørn Melhus. LOST IN FINITY unfolds as an immersive overall installation conceived specifically for the Betonhalle.

Melhus stages the exhibition space as a circuit through the medial, collective unconscious of the 20th and 21st centuries, as a cinematic narrative between human desires and fears, between visions of collapse and utopian possibility. The starting point is material featuring newly recombined excerpts from his artistic work of the past 35 years, which resonates with the present in uncanny ways: religious imagery meets pop-cultural end-time visions and technoid exit strategies.

LOST IN FINITY creates a space for reflection that is at once melancholic and tragicomic, responding to today's multicrisis linked to the urgent question of possible counter-narratives and new utopias.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a programme of events, including screenings and talks.
