Join us for a walkthrough of Zuzanna Czebatul’s solo exhibition, All the Charm of a Rotting Gum, at Dittrich & Schlechtriem, unveiled during Gallery Weekend Berlin. In this show, Zuzanna Czebatul reimagines the iconic Pergamon Altar, hidden from public view until 2027, due to comprehensive renovation works at the Pergamon Museum. “Czebatul uses the opportunity to renegotiate the object: not merely as a symbol of imperial power, but as a platform for reflections on cultural heritage, processes of political appropriation and exploitation, and a history that figures prominently in Germany and that is mythologized in turn. In a dialogue with a second monumental work, a relief blending police riot gear with the geometry of Christian sacred geometry , the exhibition sheds light on the articulation and representation of state power in history and the present.”
The exhibition runs until June 21, 2025. Subscribe and hit the bell for more art videos.
