A new exhibition in Berlin, titled 'It’s Not My Problem Anymore, Deal With Your Own Shit,' explores the provocative works of the late artist Christoph Schlingensief. Central to the show is 'Kaprow City,' which originally premiered in 2006 and controversially depicted the Queen performing a Hitler salute, among other shocking scenes. The exhibition aims to reflect on Schlingensief's commentary on media power, colonialism, and the far right.
The Gropius Bau features remnants of Schlingensief's original set and highlights his unique blend of performance art and political critique. His works remain relevant today, particularly in the context of rising far-right sentiments in Germany, as they challenge audiences to confront societal issues rather than escape from them. Schlingensief's legacy continues to provoke discussions about the intersection of art and politics in contemporary society.
