"Time Travel": Art Between Memory and Future
At the House on the Redoute, GEDOK Bonn invites you to a diverse exhibition about the human imagination of time travel. From October 29 to December 6, 2026, visitors will encounter artistic positions that intertwine past, present, and future.
Between Past and Future
The exhibition addresses a fundamental human longing: the possibility of leaving time and entering other realities. The glance back leads to personal memories, historical experiences, and familiar narratives. In contrast, the glance forward opens a space of uncertainty, hope, and also ambivalence.
The artists of GEDOK Bonn approach this topic from different perspectives. Their works inquire how time is experienced, stored, remembered, and imagined. An aesthetic experience arises that desires not only to be viewed but also to be thought out internally.
Painting, Drawing, Photography, and Installation
The curation unites a broad spectrum of visual arts: painting, drawing, graphics, photography, video, installation, and sculpture. Different materials, forms, and visual languages make the exhibition a versatile art experience. Each work develops its own access to time travel and thus expands the conceptual horizon of the theme.
Among the presented motifs are family and social relationships, memory images, and visions of departure. The work Father, Mother, Child by Helga Thomas-Berke refers to biographical closeness and interpersonal time spans. Birgit Brandt-Siefart's sculpture Time Traveler in Departure translates the movement through time into a plastic form.
An Exhibition Space Full of Perspective Changes
The atmosphere of the exhibition thrives on the interplay between quiet artwork contemplation and surprising visual ideas. Photographic and graphic works condense moments, while video works and installations make time experienceable as a process, movement, or memory. Sculptures oppose the fleeting thought with a physical presence.
Art historically, the exhibition touches on central themes of modernity and contemporary art: the relationship between reality and imagination, the construction of personal memory, and the question of how images design the future. Literary and cinematic notions of time travel create a cultural resonance space without limiting the artistic works to a single interpretation.
Cultural Education Through Open Questions
"Time Travel" is particularly suitable for an inquisitive, open engagement with contemporary art. The exhibition invites visitors to activate their own memories, develop images of the future, and reflect on the impact of media and materials. Thus, it combines art historical interest with personal reflection and cultural education.
The conclusion: Visitors can expect a varied exhibition featuring painting, drawing, graphics, photography, video, installation, and sculpture. "Time Travel" opens an inspiring dialogue between past and future at the House on the Redoute. Anyone wishing to experience art as a sensory, intellectual, and personal experience should definitely visit this exhibition live.
