On 28.09.2024 we will be showing the latest work by our scholarship holder Eunju Hong, a video installation called <SOMNIUM><\/strong><\/p>\n

<SOMNIUM>, which means “Dream” in Latin, is inspired by the eponymous book written by the german astronomer Johannes Kepler in 1609. In this book, a boy, reflecting Kepler himself, discover the life in the moon described by a Daemon, who was introduced by the boy’s witch mother. In 1615, when the witch hunting was thriving in Europe, Johannes Kepler’s mother, Katharina Kepler, was accused as a witch, because of her strong personality and her interest in making medicine out of herbs. The book was not officially published until the death of Johannes Kepler, but the manuscript of <SOMNIUM> circulated Europe. After years of witch trial, Katharina Kepler passed away. After her death, Johannes Kepler was captured in guilt and anger and added more than 200 footnotes to <SOMNIUM>, which became longer than the novel itself.<\/p>\n

Eunju Hong won the media art prize of Kunststiftung Ingvild and Stephan Goetz with the proposal <SOMNIUM>, which was inspired by the novel and the original story. The 2 channel video installation <SOMNIUM> was exhibited in the Akademiegalerie in Munich in September, which was finished during her stay at Otte 1.<\/p>\n

Eunju Hong will be present. After the screening, there will be an opportunity to chat with the artist over a drink.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On 28.09.2024 we will be showing the latest work by our scholarship holder Eunju Hong, a video installation called <SOMNIUM> <SOMNIUM>, which means “Dream” in Latin, is inspired by the eponymous book written by the german astronomer Johannes Kepler in 1609.
