Freedom is changeable—a political ideal, a social order, a personal attitude. It can unite or divide. Who defines it, who limits it? Is it unconditional or bound by conventions? Freedom requires a balance between self-determination and responsibility. It is spatial, temporal, a process, an experiment. Political systems shape its understanding: democracies promise co-determination, authoritarian systems demand subordination. Liberalism emphasizes the individual, neoliberalism reduces freedom to market logic.

With her work, Lotta Wolfinger aims to highlight the debate surrounding the concept of freedom and encourage people to define it for themselves. To illustrate the complexity and multi-layered nature of the term, a total of 30 quotes from philosophical texts, interviews, headlines, and current columns are randomly juxtaposed.
