With a musical intervention by András Cséfalvay and Gabriela Šaturová.

In the midst of the current energy crisis, how do we think about nuclear energy and the search for energy alternatives? Can we imagine energy futures not only without fossil fuel, but also beyond the nuclear? And how do we deal with high-level radioactive waste?

The exhibition SALT. CLAY. ROCK. connects the city of Berlin with rural places in Germany and Hungary that host nuclear infrastructures such as uranium mines, power plants and waste repositories, or have been and still are important sites of anti-nuclear resistance. It presents nine new commissions resulting from the two-year research undertaken by the artists with the curatorial team. Many of the works were created in dialogue with local communities, foregrounding their subjective and grassroots perspectives. This shows how those directly impacted by the day-to-day reality of nuclear infrastructures coexist with its consequences, as well as its looming yet invisible dangers.
