The Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen is hosting the first monographic museum exhibition dedicated to the actor and artist Lars Eidinger (b. 1976) at K21. The exhibition O Mensch presents a selection of photographs and videos, mainly created between 2018 and 2024, with a few exceptions dating back to 2006. The images, mostly taken on the road with a smartphone or a single-lens reflex camera, provide an insight into the worldview of the much-traveled actor. Whether at the site of a guest performance or at film locations such as London, Paris, Beijing, Tokyo, Sydney, Seoul, New York, or in his hometown of Berlin, Eidinger directs our gaze to remote, inconspicuous details and magnifies them. Seemingly trivial situations are captured in all their contradictions, both tenderly and unsparingly.

The exhibitions on the Bel Etage are sponsored by the Foundation for Art, Culture, and Social Projects of Sparda-Bank West.
