PROJECT DETAILS

The exhibition LOVE THYSELF reflects on Self-Love as a foundation for encountering other people with respect, appreciation and tolerance. The loving appreciation of yourself enabling you to maintain a positive connection to the world, to overcome borders and prejudices.

LOVE THYSELF presents works that inspire and give strength. These works are personal reflections of the participating artists of their lifestyles in acceptance of themselves. No complex guidebooks, just simple ideas, that are ready for imitation!

Not only others, but we ourselves are the „object“ of our feelings and attitudes; the attitudes toward others and toward ourselves, far from being contradictory, are basically conjunctive. Love of others and love of oursel-ves are not alternatives. On the contrary, an attitude of love toward them-selves will be found in all those who are capable of loving others. Love, in principle, is indivisible as far as the connection between „objects“ and one’s own self is concerned. ― (1947a: Erich Fromm, Man for Himself. An Inquiry into the Psychology of Ethics, 1947)

In the philosophic tradition you find very clearly that narcissism is something entirely different from self-love. Man must have an affirmative, loving attitude towards oneself. The egocentric person in reality is a person who does not love himself. ― (1991d [1974]: Therapeutic Aspects of Psychoanalysis, in: E. Fromm, The Art of Listening, NY, 1994)

When I started loving myself….
Today I only do
what‘s fun and joy for me,
what I love and what makes my heart laugh,
in my own way and in my tempo.
Today I know: it‘s called HONESTY.

Charlie Chaplin, 1959
