Forgive Us Our Trespasses

The artists Antje Majewski and Olivier Guesselé-Garai invite visitors to paint onto a large tent, which will be presented as part of the exhibition Forgive Us Our Trespasses / Vergib uns unsere Schuld. 



The theme and inspiration for the paintings are the living beings that can be found in the area of Großer Tiergarten or that existed here in the past: animals, plants, fungi, lichens, micro-organisms and humans. Some live there now, others lived there a long time ago, such as the forest rhinoceros.


In painting workshops for all age groups, Antje Majewski conjures the creatures that can be found in Großer Tiergarten, while Olivier Guesselé-Garai offers poetry circles on 7 & 8 December, during which poems are recited, recorded and written in a tent. In the context of freedom of expression, these activities explore what can constitute a lyrical border crossing.


The poems and paintings are to be overwritten and painted over in further workshops—even completely covered with new elements—so that a multi-layered ensemble of possible life forms and lived experiences emerges.
