Search & Rescue by Till Könneker, Bern: Galerie SOON, Münstergasse 62, 3011 Bern

In the search for happiness we always end up with ourselves. Is happiness the expectation or the fulfilment? Just a moment or a state of mind? How do you save a special moment into the future? Only we ourselves can do that, but is the memory perhaps only the memory of an earlier memory? Do we perhaps manipulate ourselves without being aware of it? "I could be anybody, so anybody can be me," Könneker noted in one of his notebooks. What makes a person what he is, the inner or the outer world? What has preoccupied Könneker in recent years is the randomness of his own existence and the influences on his perception of reality. Könneker does not want to impose an opinion on us, he leaves room for our own interpretations and memories.

Works from the last 4 years are shown. At the centre is the long-term project "search for" in which Könneker reflects our supposed reality, which is determined and defined by the results of a few search engines.
