In 2025, the association eop (Emergence of Projects) will host a pop-up exhibition at OpenCave under the dual theme Life After Extinction and Cave Painting. More than 20 artists explore how cave painting can be reimagined today, employing analog photographic techniques such as the enduring cyanotype, designed to outlast generations. Central questions arise: What should survive us? What truly matters? What are we searching for? Where do we go to? What do we fear? The approaches could hardly be more diverse. Curated with great openness in a Wunderkammer Style by Michael Bachofer, the exhibition addresses a wide audience, reflecting the diversity of the participants them selves. Methods range from silver gelatin to alternative photographic processes, hybrid formats, and analog projections.
