Talking Hats

Cooperation Fiona Bennett with artist FLATZ, exhibited in his retrospective, Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich

In 2024, Fiona Bennett had the incredible opportunity to showcase our collaboration with the brilliant artist FLATZ at his retrospective in the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich. A Sound Installation & the Next Chapter the Talking Hats Series. Its a little-known fact that FLATZ has also been writing poetry since 1997. One of his poems, recited by the artist himself, can be heard beneath three oversized hat objects. As a retrospective self-reflection, it describes the social role of the artist as FLATZ understands it:
„I was… the destroyer in the mirror of complaisance…/ | was… the dark stain on the dress of innocence… / / was… the cell death of cosiness…”.
