Waters, this deep, the fifth chapter of the exhibition series Becoming B, curated by Linnéa Meiners, brings the artists Nnenna Onuoha and Om Bori into a dialog with the nearby Landwehr Canal. Water appears as a fluid element of transformation – it carries, reflects, moves, connects, separates and reshapes. Nnenna Onuoha collects sounds around the water, creates speculative visions and fills sonic gaps with imaginary worlds. Om Bori follows the canal in material encounters, tracing traces of algae formations and micro-organic changes. Currents of history, memory and identity weave themselves into new narratives for Künstlerhaus Bethanien.
The exhibition is funded by the Hauptstadtkulturfonds.
