Overview

• The exhibition runs from 27 September to 19 October at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, with a strict ban on mobile phones, photography and filming enforced throughout the interior.
• Böhmermann frames the analogue-only setup as a rebuttal to social‑media timelines, urging direct conversation and calling the show an experience that should be lived rather than reproduced.
• Installations range from a sunken Statue of Liberty outside to interior works such as hate‑comment postcards with sender profile photos, AI‑generated nude images of Chancellor Friedrich Merz, a butter bust of Helmut Kohl, and a towering paper piece compiling thousands of complaints and documents from roughly 100 legal cases since 2015.
• Culture State Minister Wolfram Weimer has distanced himself from rapper Chefket’s scheduled 7 October performance, citing a T‑shirt motif the government views as antisemitic, while HKW’s director and Böhmermann say any antisemitic speech will be stopped on stage.
• The program includes concerts, shows, TV recordings and talks, with Weimer slated as a guest on 8 October and two festival days set for 17 and 18 October.
