BIENNALE AUSTRIA

The word paradise contains so many longings and desires, stoked for centuries. Many visions were written down, entire image compositions were created. Paradise is a special place from which we have been expelled and where want to return to.
Really? Could it be that we overlook our quest – entry after death into this particular place, called paradise, as an elected individual?
Could it be that we have been living in this paradise since we were born and do not know it?
Could it be that the decisions we make, whether for ourselves or as a community, shape this paradise?
Precarious theory in the light of recent events that humanity is going through.
How do you imagine a day in paradise? Is it in line with everyone’s wishes?
For some, an apple is an apple, for someone else it is the key to paradise.
Let us bite into it and create a planet on which longings, desires and hope become reality and call it not paradise, but earth.
(Elisabeth Rass, 2020)
