Exhibition at the Kunsthaus - Emilija Škarnulytė

The Kunsthaus Göttingen presents a solo exhibition by Lithuanian artist Emilija Škarnulytė from February 3 to April 21, 2024. Renowned for her immersive video installations, she explores the impacts of technology and science on the Earth. The exhibition reveals invisible structures, with a focus on the video works "t ½" and "Rakhne." "t ½" features real footage from the decommissioned Ignalina nuclear power plant and submarine canals at the Arctic Circle, along with 3D remote sensing images from Super Kamiokande and the CLOUD experiment at CERN. "Rakhne" delves into data construction and mythologization. Škarnulytė's audiovisual presentations invite viewers on a meditative journey through past, present, and future.

Ein kleines Boot fährt bei Sonnenschein auf dem schönen blauen Kiessee

Göttinger Kiessee

A headline made this body of water famous: "Giant catfish chokes on a turtle". You can stroll around the sandy banks of this former quarry pond and, with any luck, see turtles hanging about on tree trunks. Or spend some time on the water in one of the pedal boats, rowboats or canoes while enjoying the sun.
