Press release

The new commission at the Staff Entrance is created by Munich-based artist Gülbin Ünlü. Her work, titled (n)orient, proposes a speculative future where technology and identity coexist in more fluid, interconnected forms. This spatial installation unfolds as an investigation into techno-orientalism, a critical take on the appropriation of imagery in visual culture, and the possible lost futures.

With this series of site-specific commissions, we open up our essential space of daily operation for encountering artists’ work. Renewed each year, we invite artists from Munich to respond to this space and to conceptualise a new work. This year, Gülbin Ünlü transforms the passage into a liminal space. You are invited to envision other worlds viewed from a new perspective—post-sci-fi realms where narratives of alienness are reclaimed and redefined.
