Discussion with Rohini Devasher, Annika Kahrs, Prof. Dr. Omar W. Nasim, and Dr. Christina Landbrecht

In their artworks, the artists Rohini Devasher and Annika Kahrs explore phenomena and elements of the universe. Both are intersted in the practices and materiality of astronomical research institutions, offering fresh perspectives on the cosmos in their films—through both image and sound.



In her video work "One Hundred Thousand Suns," Devasher presents images, narratives, and poetic as well as scientific perspectives that make the intricate relationship between humans and the sun tangible and perceptible. Kahrs, in her film "Gravity's Tune", investigates the phenomenon of gravitational waves, which emerge, for instance, from the merging of black holes. These waves travel unhindered through space until they are measured by an enormous laser, resonating as sound from space that humans can perceive.


The artists will discuss their works in a roundtable conversation with Prof. Dr. Omar W. Nasim, a historian of science whose research examines scientific practices, analytical technologies, and the interconnections between science, philosophy, and art. The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Christina Landbrecht, program director for art at the Schering Foundation.


In cooperation with the Schering Foundation. Accompanying this event, Annika Kahrs' video work, "Gravity's Tune", will be shown at the PalaisPopulaire from February 26 to March 2, 2025.
