What went through Edvard Munch's mind when he was painting? What thoughts arise in people's minds when they look at his works of art?

Fear, illness and loneliness always have been and always will be. How did Edvard Munch realise these themes artistically? How do contemporary artists deal with them and how do we encounter them today? Participants experience art through text and intuitive writing. Because everyone writes only for themselves.

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.
