Kawita Vatanahyankur is included in Balance at Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart, Berlin.
From Minimal Art to Transavanguardia and Pop Art to contemporary art, the exhibition presents works that deal with the struggle of individuals or society for balance, harmony and stability. At the same time, they show how unsustainable it is once a balance has been found. Balance breaks down the presentation of these dwindling certainties into five thematic blocks: the futility of the longing for balance, the perception of balance, the tensions of interpersonal balancing acts, the unbalanced relationship between man and nature, and finally the balancing of individual and social expectations in economic terms connections.
