When is a trip really over? Anton and Beyza know the feeling of wanderlust, of being homesick, and also the joy of coming home when you return from vacation. During their forays through the exhibition ‘Bon Voyage!’ the two have talked about many kinds of travel. We are curious to see which end they will choose for their expedition at the Ludwig Forum!

In the third part of the series, Mareike Foecking talks with Satjiv Chahil, who is a Silicon Valley pioneer and thought leader specialized in the digital transformation of global businesses, enabling startups to scale, and aligning business goals with social purpose.

Doing something that no one else has ever done before – there are artists who try out unusual ways to learn more about a particular thing. In doing so, they embark on crazy and adventurous research journeys. With their artworks, they tell about their journeys and let the museum visitors participate a little bit. Hopefully, Anton and Beyza won’t get any crazy ideas now.

For the collector couple Peter and Irene Ludwig, travel was an important part of their activity. The Ludwig Collection consists of several thousand objects and gathers together art from many continents and epochs. The idea of “world art” was the inspiration.

As an additional part of her artistic work ‘I am looking at Silicon Valley – Silicon Valley is looking at Me’, Mareike Foecking has produced photographic videos – as a reaction to the closure of museums – in which she talks to some of the protagonists of her photographic work and her travel diary about the pictures taken in Silicon Valley and thus decodes them.
