Der renommierte Künstler Doug Aitken erschafft seit über 30 Jahren Filme, Installationen, Skulpturen und Performances. Seine Kunst erforscht unverkennbare gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen der Gegenwart: Entfremdung, Isolation und die komplexen Beziehungen zwischen Mensch, Natur und Technologie. In der Ausstellung »Return to the Real« verbindet Aitken Videoinstallationen wie migration (empire) (2008) und Wilderness (2022) und Skulpturen wie All doors open (2019) zu einer energetischen Raumkomposition aus Figuration, Bewegung und Klang. Dieser Katalog spiegelt die Art und Weise wider, wie sich Aitken in seinem konzeptionellen Werk der zeitgenössischen Welt nähert und sie erforscht. Mit einem Interview mit Doug Aitken, Barbara Bergmann und Svenja Frank und einem neuen Text von Aitken.
