Johann van der Schijff: Destiny_02

The exhibition asks the viewer to see the Earth anew, to experience a moment similar to when the photograph Earthrise was taken.

The exhibition asks the viewer to see the Earth anew, to experience a moment similar to when the photograph Earthrise was taken or astronauts first stepped onto the surface of the Moon. It offers a glimpse of landscapes that, at a fleeting moment in history, were still largely unspoiled.

At the same time, it functions as a hand-crafted distress signal – a plea to future generations and possible extraterrestrial beings to heed the urgent call of the environmental movement before it is too late. It is both a gift and a warning, delivered in the hope that these magnificent places can be preserved forever. Free parking for the exhibition is available in the garage beneath the museum; please allow extra travel time due to extensive roadworks in the area.
