How do we live with a mask?

P(i)azza 4

Johannes Scherer

This series of sketches shows people on the streets during times of the mask.

The work is based on Sebastian Jung’s artwork for the exhibition “tell me about yesterday tomorrow”. He made simple and quick sketches, in which he captures the emotions of individual people visiting the memorial sites of Dachau and Buchenwald, or a mass rally in Chemnitz.

Most of my drawings were made at piazza 4th Novembre in Bolzano. In the end, I recreated an abstract version of the piazza 4, as a digital exhibition space in Mozilla Hubs to display my sketches.

A project made in the course

Studio Exhibit | Yesterday Tomorrow: Memory in Art

As a first assignment, the students were asked to “inhabit” the work of one of the artists who participated in the exhibition “tell me about yesterday tomorrow”. Starting from there, they should acquire tools to develop their own work. In the second assignment, following the historical perspective introduced by the very same exhibition, they should develop a personal work dealing with the topic of “memory”. The supporting modules provided the students with historical and theoretical insight on the topic of the studio, and offered technical tools to exhibit the resulting works online.
