From May 20 to 22, ten scholars from the fields of modern Greek studies, philosophy of law, German studies, comparative literature, cultural studies, and visual cultures gathered at Schloss Wiepersdorf to work on the topic of “Person on Paper: Identification, Invisibilization, and Anonymization as Literary Practice.”

Based on the landscape depictions of the researcher Alexander von Humboldt, artist Paula Müller, Wiepersdorf fellow in 2025, explores in her exhibition "Die Sonne sitzt" (The sun sits) at what point a documentary record of a landscape transforms into an emotionally charged image of longing in the spirit of Romanticism.

The special exhibition will be on view at the museum through the end of September 2025.
