Oliver Ressler. Scenes from the Invention of Democracy
24 September 2025 - 1 March 2026

Oliver Ressler. Scenes from the Invention of Democracy

‘What is Democracy?’ This is the question at the centre of Oliver Ressler's eponymous video installation from 2009, for which he interviewed activists and analysts around the world. In view of climate change and the rise of the right in Europe, the question of political participation is as urgent as ever. Ressler’s new work, presented here for the first time, also deals with protest, in this case against the planned expansion of a car testing track that threatens a forest in Apulia, a drought-stricken region in Italy.
