The Beat Messenger and Bonnie Camplin present a joint research project based on weekly recorded conversations over three years (2021–2024). These dialogues explore consciousness and the ontology of creativity, drawing on the artists’ shared beliefs and holotropic cosmology. Topics range from the fluidity of reality to the role of science fiction in understanding truth.

The conversations revolve around topics such as:

• Reality is both plasmatic and crystalline. How do we, as creators, shape our mythical reality within such a fluid medium?
• How does science fiction assist us in our quest for the truth of our reality?
• What can we learn from the testimonies of the Montauk Project survivors about the nature of time, space, and consciousness?

The recordings are presented alongside drawings, photographs, and sculptures from their 20-year archive, as well as a selection of recent works.

“Life on television is far more interesting than real life outside.”

With his Elektronikfilme, Schönherr was an early explorer of television’s visual language as an artistic medium. In this series, he filmed individual television images, interspersed with flickering colours, creating a unique aesthetic that oscillates between experimental cinema, Fluxus, and pop culture. These works mark the beginning of a lifelong engagement with the omnipresence of television and the aesthetics of mass media imagery.

Although Schönherr’s works defy clear categorisation—neither purely structuralist nor merely pop—they possess a striking timelessness. His art remained largely undiscovered for years, partly due to his modesty, partly because it resists conventional classification. This exhibition is dedicated to his visionary body of work and invites audiences to rediscover the hypnotic visual language of his Elektronikfilme.

Since 1997, Julius Deutschbauer has been collecting books that people own but have never read—along with their personal reasons why. The result is The Library of Unread Books, a continuously growing archive that humorously and critically reflects on our reading habits, intellectual ambitions, and cultural expectations.

The exhibition invites visitors to browse this collection and explore the question: Why do we own books we never read? The presentation is complemented by a performative activation of the library, in which Deutschbauer interviews guests about their unread books.
