About the installation:

Since April 2019, the journalist Julian Assange has been a political prisoner in a solitary cell in the Belmarsh high-security prison in the Thamesmead district of the Royal Borough of Greenwich in the British capital of London. After the artistic conception of the Leipzig based artist Manja McCade, we are reproducing this cell as close as possible in terms of its haptics, physiognomy and audition and will be presenting it temporarily in various cities in Germany from September 2022. As a result, those who are interested can experience this synaesthetic two-by-three-meter confinement space and experience it first hand, what isolation and psychological torment mean. Everything that happens within this staged isolation room is broadcast on the internet in order to create a demographic, socio-critical sensitization. This performative art project ties in with groundbreaking socially critical experiences of public space sculptures that ultimately fulfill pedagogical tasks. Cross-genre artists such as Joseph Beuys and Christoph Schlingensief set artistic global standards in their time period, which only considered the discursive integration of all recipients as a (complete) work. In this respect, art as such received a further task and in the meantime also makes demands.
