Exhibition "Chronos" – April 22nd to May 6th at soft assembly

As part of the opening of the new exhibition space soft assembly by the Professorship of Art in Architecture the artist Simon Mullan will host the first exhibition Chronos.

Simon Mullan’s video installation Chronos brings together 25 works created between 2004 and 2014 and reflects his artistic development within the tension between subculture, society, and personal identity. Inspired by the idea of film as an expression of reality (for example in the work of Pier Paolo Pasolini), the installation unfolds as a multi-layered, non-linear landscape of images and sound.  Shaped by techno culture, social work (including work with refugees and people with disabilities), as well as socio-political themes, Mullan combines documentary and abstract elements. 

The MiniDV aesthetic serves as a deliberate reference to a past media era, reinforcing the raw and immediate character of the images. The installation presents an intense, often provocative engagement with reality, physicality, and identity. Through numerous portraits, performances, and documentary scenes, a fragmented and emotionally charged overall composition emerges—one that offers fewer answers and instead invites perception and reflection.  

Additional information: For each exhibition venue, Simon Mullan presents an adapted version of Chronos. This takes the form of a smaller installation with multiple monitors and a sound system, maintaining the immersive impact within a more reduced spatial setting.

The event is open to the public and at free admission.
