TRAUMAPORN Pt1 Door © Boris Eldagsen and Tanvir Taola

Trigger warningAn artistic conference on war, trauma and AI

11/23-2023/11/26 at Neue Galerie im Höhmannhaus

Boris Eldagsen & Tanvir Taolad

In the context of the project, Boris Eldagsen is showing his art project "TRAUMA PORN", which he describes as an "experimental installation that deals with the psychological long-term consequences of war. Photographs from Nazi Germany and the Second World War serve him as source material for AI-generated and -edited image worlds.

The starting point for the work, which began three years ago, were the traumatic flashbacks of Eldagsen's father, who went to the front at the age of 16. To compensate for his bias and to bring out the timeless aspects of the visual material, Eldagsen teamed up with the artist Tanvir Taolad from Bangladesh.

The art project will be accompanied by artist talks, lectures and discussions.
