Max Freund
A Million Songs Of Nightmares
19 July – 31 August 2024 | Halle
Opening reception: Friday, 19 July 2024, 6 – 9 pm
Studio and outside world, reality and fiction, hope and disillusion, day and night. Max Freund (*1992 in Vienna) questions their transitions and contrasts; in his current exhibition, night becomes the focal point: "The bed as the antithesis of everyday life becomes a place of retreat from which one can shape the world and one's own reality of the next day, at least ideally, but wishful dreams and nightmares alternate" (PARNASS 02/2024).
