Losing one's way, losing one's bearings in freedom, breaking out of the secure, being locked up in the secure – the Franzensfeste fortress, with its heavy walls, underground passages, loopholes and observation ports is a dream backdrop for the subject of the 2009 regional exhibition. Labyrinth – Freedom is not an exhibition that is indebted to the memory of the Tyrolean struggle for freedom of 1809, but rather traces the freedom myth in forms of freedom that change over time and with their subject.
