Lydia Askani: Circle and Surface—Lunar Relics Scrutiny

Objekt aus der Arbeit "

The artistic research project “Circle and Surface—Lunar Relics Scrutiny” by Lydia Askani deals with the appropriation of artifacts and forgeries of cultural property. She draws attention to their instrumentalization within geopolitical power struggles and, in this context, critically and humorously questions the role of institutions and museums in relation to the attribution of meaning to objects and their historical contextualization.
