Goethe Pop Up Kansas City presents the multimedia installation, Ankersentrum (surviving in the ruinous ruin) by Natascha Sadr Haghighian.

First exhibited at the Venice Biennale’s German Pavilion in 2019, Ankersentrum consisted of a large-scale installation that combined architectural elements, sound and sculpture to create an immersive experience for visitors. The sound composition, tribute to whistle, was presented as the centerpiece of the installation in Venice and can now be experienced at the Goethe Pop Up Kansas City (and for the first time in the USA!). It will be accompanied by three videos, which Haghighian produced in anticipation of the opening of the Venice Biennale.

Ankersentrum (surviving in the ruinous ruin) is a project by Natascha Sadr Haghighian in collaboration with Susanne Sachsse, Jessica Ekomane, Maurice Louca, DJ Marfox, Jako Maron, Tisha Mukarji, Elnaz Seyedi, Nicholas Bussmann, Kooperative für Darstellungspolitik, Maziyar Pahlevan, Sina Ahmadi, Jasper Kettner, and many others. Curated by Franciska Zólyom.
