In the exhibition (in-)sight, (in-)place, Robert Bergmann and Maximilian Seegert delve into the pervasive impact of images—be it from Google images, films, social media, or books—on our perception of landscapes. Their work examines how these countless representations create a feeling of both immersion and detachment, prompting us to question the nature of our connection to the environment. The exhibition suggests that our interaction with images forms a labyrinthine network where each element mirrors another, creating a recursive tapestry in which every stone, every tree or every building is a template for another. A version of a version of a version.

Robert Bergmann lives and works in Vienna. In 2023 he graduated with a Master of Fine arts from the HFBK Hamburg. He works as an artist and curator.
