Kings, Queens, and Other States of Mind (2022) brought together works in various media as a spatial installation in a former mourning chapel. The narrative is shaped by re-visioned visual worlds that articulate the humanist ideal, engaging with the challenges arising from a post-anthropocentric worldview. The exhibition appropriates visual references from Greek antiquity, considered the foundation of humanism. This imagery, anchored in our collective memory, encounters historic and contemporary images of society, power, and spirituality. Through bronze and concrete sculptures that evoke non-human elements from nature, Leonid Keller invites viewers to perceive thr human in relation to the non-human and to conceive of them as inseparable.
