DOPPELDENK are two artists from Germany. They live and work in Leipzig. The concept of doublethink comes from George Orwell’s dystopian novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four” and describes the power of having two contradictionary beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them. Unlock the Idea of George Orwell’s novel from total brain-wash and combine it with self-responsible human acting, and you can achieve a new complex form of thinking. In this case you are able to accept the connection of two contradictionary relations and, as a conclusion, to create your own new conviction.
West Berlin Gallery will present a selection of their latest works in Berlin, March 26th – April 10th. Read more
