“Ruine München Companions” unfolds as networks of relationships across seven locations – visible and invisible, grown and constructed, necessary and wanted, burdened, frightening and familiar connections all present at the same time. Connections that reach 100 years into the past, a million years into the future, back to the 1970s, far before any reckoning of time, and back to the here and now. Sometimes as hosts, sometimes as invitees, Ruine München creates a blurry map of the actual, supposed, and potential ruins of the city together with local and international artists, scientists and nonhuman companions.
“Ruine München Companions” is a project by artists Maria VMier, Jan Erbelding and Leo Heinik, with the support of Georgia Kaw and Jakob Braito and takes place from June to October 2023.
