Order seems to be urgently needed at a time when many things seem to have fallen into disarray. Values and norms are getting mixed up in the face of recent wars and crises, our living environment is characterized by permanent processes of change and adaptation, reactionary and totalitarian ideas of compulsion are confronted with rationality and science. And supposedly there is only a choice between order and chaos. 
A feeling of disorientation prevails. The events of the world are now not only happening simultaneously – as they always have – they have also become simultaneously tangible today. While the earth burns and spacecrafts jet off to Mars, we continue to dig gold out of the earth in search of new morsels, chase it through mercury leaches and bury it again in steel vaults underground. Our human intervention in the biosphere is becoming increasingly noticeable.
The exhibition „Total Recall“ attempts to find images for this complexity.
Do we still have any chance of making self-determined and dignified decisions?
Algorithms that are programmed with the erratic visions of the future of our “make-everything-bigger-friends”?
Do we still have any chance of collectively becoming aware of this and developing an optimistic and social vision of the future for humanity?
The works in the exhibition „Total Recall“ cannot answer this question, they can perhaps only point the way to the right questions.
