In the coming months, the «Leben, was geht!» exhibition will be on display at various locations around Switzerland. The exhibition raises awareness about life crises and suicide and comprises a six-part interactive tour, a dialogue room, video and audio installations.
The centrepiece is a so-called «living library», in which 25 people – relatives, survivors and helpers – explain how they coped with these difficult situations. They include a mother, a father, a girlfriend, a daughter, a husband, undertakers, a priest, a police officer and a philosopher.
The projects of Lucerne-based exhibition organiser Martin Steiner (b. 1976) always focus on people, observation and dialogue as well as socially relevant issues.
The exhibition is supported by the Migros Culture Percentage.
