Christoph & Sebastian Mügge: TRASHëgim

About

The exhibition's title is a play on words, combining the Albanian word for legacy, "trashëgim," with a less flattering English term. The installation explores the deeply personal, ambiguous, and often nostalgic feelings that arise when someone passes away—how we handle loss, cherish memories, and interpret the traces of a complex life. It also addresses universal questions of identity, shifting values, and the meanings we attach to objects from an estate. These items bear witness to the era and circumstances in which they were used, offering insights into the past that resonate with our present.
