The exhibition is a collaboration of Ludwig Museum Budapest and Siemens Stiftung.

Through works by international contemporary artists, the exhibition takes as its starting point a characteristic literary and filmic genre of the 1945-1989 period: science-fiction. Centered around two seminal artistic positions from the sixties, the works on display, all made in the last ten years, reconsider the workings of these Cold War-fueled myths and employ some of its strategies in their own visions of the future.
