The exhibition follows on from the exhibition of the same name that took place in Linz in 2025 and continues the dialogue in Chongqing. Around 25 artistic projects from Austria, China and South-East Asia explore the relationships between water and the human sphere, shedding light on areas of tension between veneration and destruction, as well as between natural spaces and political intervention. A polyphonic European-Asian dialogue unfolds through installations, videos, photographs and performances. Austria is represented by David Kapl, Eginhartz Kanter, Hans Polterauer, Katharina Gruzei, Laurien Bachmann, Leo Schatzl, Margherita Spiluttini, Markus Burgstaller, Michael Goldgruber, Pepi Maier, Rainer N\u00f6bauer-Kammerer, Sabine Jelinek, Siegfried A.
