Twilight land

Twilight Land

Twilightland explores the experience of standing on the threshold of the unknown, the realization that our lives cannot continue in the same way, and that the world as we know it is changing at a rapid pace. The combination of ecological, geopolitical and democratic crisis worries and scares. At the same time, various movements and initiatives point towards opportunities for positive paradigm shifts that can entail more life-affirming ways of thinking and living. Twilight - the transition from day to night - can be associated with fear of the dark, but also with creativity and fruitful encounters between imagination and reality. In Twilightland we encounter artworks and texts that draw their nourishment somewhere between destruction and creation, confusion and clarity, fear and hope.
