The digital #exhibition “Free to Create - Create to be Free”, set up under the responsibility of the Council of Europe’s Steering Committee for Culture, Heritage and Landscape, has received a new artwork from Luxembourg.

For the work “Dystopian Circles” the artist Armand Quetsch has travelled across Europe originally with a concept of a trip from Brussels to the edge – to Lampedusa. It became a perennial odyssey: Obersalzberg, Sarajevo, Athens. Brussels, Nordhausen, Zagreb. Belgrade, Reggio Calabra. The fort of Srebrenica, … places that are charged with European history. In addition to the history, the dramatic developments of the past few years are inscribed in the pictures. Financial crisis, refugee drama, nationalism. Insecurity, perplexity, despair.  It is a view of our continent filled with anxiety and anger, which in fantastic pictures leaves room for ideals and utopias.
