What does the market promise us when it sells happiness, healing, and truth?
What happens when hedonism meets Weltschmerz?
And what happens when happiness turns into an achievement?
With their exhibition „Erleuchtung ist ausverkauft“ [Enlightenment ist sold out] Animationseries2000 casts a glance at the spiritual surplus of consumer culture. Between wellness and escapism unfolds an installative cosmos of painting, object, animation, and spatial atmosphere. Amid gaming aesthetics, commodity worlds, and spiritual vocabulary, the installation unfolds a visual language that connects the familiar with the absurd. Visitors wander through a scenario where self-help, ritual, consumer desire, and identity construction mirror one another. It sparkles, it glows, it feels good – and we are left to wonder: Is this comfort or deception? Is this ritual or routine?
