Four authors - four voices - four perspectives

In the series '4.1.60', four authors read from their own texts and open up new literary spaces. The evening will be complemented by a reading of a text by an important writer in order to build a bridge between past and present.

For 60 minutes, the stage belongs to the words, the stories and the thoughts that come to life in the texts. As part of the photo exhibition "Revolt, Absurdity, Solidarity", this reading fits into the overall program and opens up further access to the themes that Albert Camus dealt with so impressively.

The photographs and texts by Michael Dohle and Werner Seltier offer an in-depth look at the central themes of Albert Camus: the absurd, revolt and solidarity. Camus is a long-time companion for both artists, whose thinking they read and discuss again and again - especially the question of how the absurdity of life and its acceptance become the starting point of his thinking. For them, Camus is also a passionate defender of art as a constant revolt: "The absurd world can only be justified aesthetically", he wrote in 1942.

The pictures and texts in this exhibition enter into a dialog with Camus' philosophy and take a new look at his thoughts on solidarity, which he continued to develop under the extreme conditions of the German occupation in France and defended against prevailing currents. The exhibition invites visitors to experience these important themes not only in the text, but also in art and the world around us.
