Crossroads #2: Cemile Sahin & Tonio Schachinger

In the organizer's words:

Crossroads#2 brings together multimedia artist Cemile Sahin and author Tonio Schachinger for a conversation about the intersection of visual art and literature. Sahin's works move between film, photography, sculpture and text. Her latest film "ROAD RUNNER" combines pop culture and video game aesthetics to shed light on the use of drones. Schachinger's novel "Echtzeitalter" (winner of the German Book Prize 2023) is set in a Viennese boarding school where teenager Till tries to fit in while being an online superstar in the game "Age of Empires 2".

The discussion will be moderated by Mathilda Legemah (Hamburger Bahnhof - Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart) and Sonja Longolius (Literaturhaus Berlin).

Free admission and participation; no reservation required

Art and literature meet in the Crossroads event series. Authors meet painters, sculptors meet writers, multimedia artists meet poets; their paths cross in the museum.
