Finissage

with a Curator’s Tour: “Bittersweet Symphony – On Addiction and Responsibility”

To mark the closing of Bittersweet Symphony – On Addiction and Responsibility, Galerie im Saalbau invites you to a guided tour with curator Katharina Schilling. The exhibition brings together works by Stefanie Moshammer and Eric Meier, who explore alcohol addiction and its impact on relationships and individual lives from personal perspectives.

In Each Poison, A Pillow, Stefanie Moshammer approaches her mother’s alcohol addiction through photography, family archives, objects and video works. These explore intimacy and distance, the desire for comfort and security, and the limits of control. In Vaterland, Eric Meier portrays men living with alcohol addiction in a residential facility in Eisenhüttenstadt. His photographs connect individual life stories with questions of masculinity, vulnerability and the social transformations following the end of the GDR.

The tour offers insights into the artists’ different approaches and the questions of care and responsibility that connect their work.

The tour will be conducted in German.
