LOAN – « RUIN ECHOES » – GROUP EXHIBITION – KONSCHTHAL ESCH, LUXEMBOURG
The RAJA Collection is very pleased to loan the work Sarcophagus by Recycle Group to the Konschthal Esch contemporary art center for the exhibition “Ruin Echoes”!
Located in Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg, the Konschthal Esch is presenting a group exhibition dedicated to contemporary ruin (October 24, 2026, to February 14, 2027—curated by Christian Mosar). The sculpture Sarcophagus, which was loaned to a venue in Austria earlier this year, is presented there in dialogue with photographs by artist Hans-Georg Esch depicting the site of Pompeii (Italy), as well as with a series of images by Stefano De Luigi devoted to Gibellina (Sicily, Italy) and Pripyat (a ghost town near Chernobyl, Ukraine).
« Ruin Echoes brings together European and international artists around the concept of the ruin — not as a nostalgic remnant, but as a space for critical exploration. The exhibition approaches the ruin as a site of tension — material, symbolic, and political — and interrogates entropy, that inevitable process of disorder that affects structures, regimes, and memories. Through various media (film, sculpture, installation, photography), the artists take an analytical approach to fragmentation, attentive to traces and absences. Ruin Echoes invites us to see ruins not as endings, but as potential beginnings, carriers of new narratives and future imaginaries. » (exhibition text)
