Delcy Morelos – Madre

The first solo exhibition in Germany by Delcy Morelos presents a new, large-scale installation at Hamburger Bahnhof that explores themes of earth, Indigenous knowledge, regeneration, and the interconnectedness of nature and humanity. The work, “Madre”, which directly engages with the form, light, climate, sound, and atmosphere of the exhibition space, dialogues with the actions, sculptures, and environments of Joseph Beuys, which are on view concurrently in the permanent collection. For Hamburger Bahnhof, Colombian artist Morelos creates a fragrant, fertile, and immersive work that illustrates humanity’s estrangement from the earth that sustains it.
