The Ties That Bind

Der Greif x Various Others - Bilder Auf Reisen / Pictures on a Journey

Bilder auf Reisen / Pictures on a Journey is a curated, interactive postcard project by Der Greif that invites emerging artists and image-makers from around the globe to respond to the themes "Strange Homeland" and "Encounters." During Various Others (May 8–11) – Munich art festival – we'll transform part of the Hotel Bayerischer Hof into an interactive installation, facilitated by a "Post-Officer" who will guide visitors to choose from the selected postcard motifs, write personal messages on-site, and send them across the globe – reviving the spirit of Mail Art. Each card will be paired with poetic texts, creating unexpected links between image and word.

Dynamic Perspective

“The times we live in today (the current zeitgeist) require an open and constantly evolving perspective in order to create positive change. Only then can we gain valuable insights into different points of view and truly connect. Isn't the strength of a civilization found purely in respect and empathy for people, nature and non-living entities?
