| |  | | Providencia - providence - in its biblical sense, describes God's intervention in the universe, an influence beyond human control. The Providencia district in Santiago de Chile provides both the setting and the title for this new series by Daniel Reuter. His work explores the signs of a recently exposed divergence, starting from a visually prosaic urbanity: architectural details, makeshift structures, trees and foliage, construction site hoardings that obstruct the view. | |  | |  | | Daniel Reuter: Untitled (from the "Providencia" series), 2020 © Daniel Reuter | |  | | In the aftermath of civil unrest, we meet the protagonists, confined within the complexity of their existence. Beneath the surface layer of the quotidian, we sense the last great wave of Western aspiration crashing down. Figures appear, the reiteration of a narrator, or characters living within a fractured narrative? Resonating with his research topics, such as identity and memory, the artist draws on this charged topography and translates its textures, reflections and light. The investigation of a deeper and more internalised territory takes shape, conjuring up the dreams and disenchantment of a world in upheaval. | |  | |  | | Daniel Reuter: Javiera (from the "Providencia" series), 2020 | |  | |  | | Daniel Reuter: view of installation "Providencia", Chapelle de la Charité, 2021 © Romain Girtgen/CNA | |  | | Daniel Reuter was born in Germany in 1976.

| |  | | Lisa Kohl is interested in the relationship between artistic creation and social reality. She goes into the field to meet people who live in precarious conditions and establishes relationships of exchange and trust with them. Lisa Kohl's works speak of flight, exile, the non-place of life or survival, invisibility and absence. With great daring, she succeeds in linking reality to poetry.
Her message is social. It involves protesting against a hostile and cold state while simultaneously allowing us, through the poetic aesthetics of images, to dream of a world in which everything could be different. It invites us to reflect on identity, homelands, the crossing of borders, futility and hope. | |  | |  | | Lisa Kohl: "PASSAGE // 32°32’04.7’’N 117°07’26.3’’W", Border Field State Park, United States, 2019 II © Lisa Kohl | |  | | Lisa Kohl was born in 1988 in Luxembourg.
