Julie Wagener: The Things We Carry
Wars, revolutions, socio-economic struggles, and ecological catastrophes, as well as the general questioning of moral values, have always been, throughout history, a major source of inspiration for visual production.
Scrutinizing a collection of over 1,000 prints dating from the 15th to the 20th century acquired by Villa Vauban in 2020, artist Julie Wagener made an eclectic selection of works conveying messages that are more relevant today than ever.
By drawing parallels between past and present, Wagener freely interprets the chosen works of art and their narratives. She projects them into present-day society to spark a discussion on the systems we follow and the lives we lead.
By revisiting past concerns and connecting them to the 21st-century human condition, this new series of serigraphs explores the existential struggles our globalized Western society faces today and in the decades to come.
