With Punishment I gallery alexanderlevy shows new works by the artist Julius von Bismarck. The title of the exhibition points to a pre-Christian legend that says that the Achaemenid King and Egyptian Pharaoh Xerxes had the strait at Hellespont punished with 300 lashes, after bridges that had been built on his order were destroyed by a storm shortly after construction. At impressive locations in Switzerland, South America and the United States Julius von Bismarck plays with the rhetorical power of this traditional retaliation, whipping nature, defying its power, until he is exhausted.
