SUSAN SONTAG »EVERYTHING MATTERS«

In the organizer's words:

"Everything matters", wrote Susan Sontag, the great New York intellectual, in her diary at the age of 16. For the brilliant essayist, writer and culture obsessive, it was equally important to read, write, look, act and live. The exhibition at the Literaturhaus München presents this icon of philosophical thought in the 20th century in five stations and stages a journey through time to the place where she lived, New York, and to the people in her life. Susan Sontag was passionate about having her own judgment, allowing art to have an effect, making up her own mind, traveling to the places where things happened - her credo was radical independence, both aesthetically and politically. "The world was her subject", said Paul Auster, with whom Susan Sontag had a decades-long friendship. Now she is being discovered by a new generation.

With numerous, partly unpublished photographs, manuscripts, quotes, film clips, personal items from her estate and an extensive accompanying program.

"I wanted to see as much as I could"

Susan Sontag, 2003
