Welt am Draht: A Tapestry of Meanings
15 may 2025
As the walls gently creak with each floor passed, a tangle of voices, languages and sounds thunders from the speakers. German, Italian, English, indistinguishably mixed, like a feverish dream sequence. I am still in the lift, yet long before reaching the top, I had already stepped into 'Welt am Draht'. The exhibition 'Welt am Draht', curated by artist Antoine Waterkeyn at Fred&Ferry Gallery in Antwerp, poses the question: was there ever a stage before there was an audience? "Of course, that is an absurd question," Antoine says. "Because without an audience, there is no theatre. There is only everyday life."
