Fears of all kinds are omnipresent. As part of the Pavilion of Fear project, Prof Dr Udo Rudolph and Dr Stefan Uhlig from Chemnitz University of Technology asked a large number of Chemnitz citizens what fears they feel and how they influence their everyday lives. In this lecture, they will present the results of their survey and provide an insight into the topic of "fear" and "anxiety" from a psychological perspective - it is clear that, on the one hand, fears have a positive function; on the other hand, we also experience them as oppressive and restrictive when they are felt intensely. They provide an insight into the worries, fears and future prospects expressed by Chemnitz citizens and how these can be countered.

Edvard Munch

The exhibition at the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz focuses on the theme of fear, based on the works of the most important pioneer of modern painting in Europe. Munch's works on this existential theme are linked to contemporary positions dealing with loneliness, illness and loss. The exhibition is part of the main programme of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025.
