WAR IN TIMES OF PEACE

With the panorama “NEW YORK 9/11 – War in Times of Peace”, artist Yadegar Asisi presents his latest 360° panorama at the Panometer Leipzig from April 9, 2022. The highly topical artwork recalls the attacks of September 11 with their global and far-reaching effects and enables a complex view of the subsequent events. The path through the exhibition leads chronologically back through the past 20 years to September 11, 2001. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Five installations first visualize the less visible consequences of the fateful day: the suffering caused in war-torn countries in the Middle East, the immense follow-up costs of the war on terror, the fates of refugees and contemporary witnesses, the nameless victims of torture, hostilities and persecution as a direct consequence of 9/11. At the end of the chronology, the panorama NEW YORK 9/11 shows the scenery at the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11, 2001 at 08:41, five minutes before the attacks. With the knowledge of the tragedies that followed, this starting point amidst the morning bustle of multicultural Manhattan becomes a seemingly utopian snapshot.

“NEW YORK 9/11 – War in Times of Peace” is Yadegar Asisi’s fourth anti-war project, following the panoramas LEIPZIG 1813, DIE MAUER and DRESDEN 1945, and continues his examination of the world with a special focus on the wars of modern times.
