Art is very powerful in its ability to change
peoples’ perspectives. Every time art gets
delivered to Schloss Derneburg, it has to
be inspected by the customs officials. A
couple of years ago we had an exhibition
of large-scale photographs by the
German photographer-artist, Candida
Höfer. Apparently, when the customs
guys walked into the gallery and saw the
artwork leaning against the wall, their
jaws literally dropped. They said “this is
amazing”. That is an example of a moment
where you can open someone’s eyes to
something that they were not appreciative
of before. When you give someone a new
perspective, a new appreciation of the
world through art, you open up a whole
new set of possibilities for them.
