In parallel with the exhibition Imagination Becomes Reality: Conclusion at the ZKM in Karlsruhe, the ZKMax in Munich presented the Kitchen and Living Room sections of Zilla Leutengger’s multi-room Munich Apartment installation.
In her works, Zilla Leutenegger combines drawing, photography, painting, sound and digitally manipulated moving images. The artist’s own persona also plays an important role. Ranging from still life to wall painting and from installation to video, her oeuvre generates a unique realm of perception in which the spatial illusion of two-dimensional media such as photography, painting and film are transposed into a tangible third dimension. As such, her work is an excellent example of the extended concept of painting as a means of portraying of our reality – one of the fundamental themes of the five-part exhibition cycle Imagination Becomes Reality.

In the exhibition The Sunset Route, on view at the Kunstpalais Erlangen and created in collaboration with the Sammlung Goetz, Cyrill Lachauer presents works from 2020 to 2025, a period during which he traveled on freight trains through the USA, Mexico, and Bosnia. In the spirit of poetic ethnography, he created photographs and films that are now being shown together for the first time. They all explore questions of freedom, self-determination, and resistance, as well as colonization, exclusion, and exploitation.
