"bilder fragen" is a play on words that is derived from the "Bilderfrage" (image question) from the Reformation period, which is just a springboard for us though for the current situation and discussion of the role, function and extraordinary importance of the artistic image today. "bilder fragen" should and will not be a recourse on religious history but a strong aesthetic postulate for the impact and existential importance but also latent danger of artistic images today: ultimately a postulate for the artistic image as human communication.
Every artistic image is also implicitly questioned by the observer, in the same way as conversely strong artistic images always contain existential questions themselves, and are in fact such questions themselves: about the preservation and disappearance of things, about transformation, development and of course also about the destructive threat by all kinds of deprivation of liberty. Despite all attempts to deploy it as a media instrument, it is probably still and solely the artistic image that works as a communication tool across cultures and languages and can create emotional and intellectual bonds across borders. |

"bilder fragen" presents selected contributions from international artists as original, autonomous artistic positions, which in dialogue with each other will at the same time result in an impressive overall picture.
