Zuzanna Czebatul Reinterprets the Pergamon Altar in Berlin Exhibition
Artist Zuzanna Czebatul explores how monuments convey authority through her sculptural work, which deforms architectural and cultural artifacts to challenge their historical stories. In an interview, she discussed the Pergamon Altar, a significant European monument, while preparing for her exhibition 'All the Charm of a Rotting Gum.' The show debuted at DITTRICH & SCHLECHTRIEM gallery during Gallery Weekend Berlin, featuring her fragmented reinterpretation of the Hellenistic frieze from the Pergamon Museum, which has been closed for an extended period.
