Tracing dozens of historical events, Chizhevsky asserted that periods of high sunspot activity lead to increased mass \u201cexcitation\u201d and brought about war, riots and revolutions. In contrast, periods of low solar activity correspond to periods of relative peace and creativity. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The New Sun, Agnieszka Polska\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B30QlvuaRD8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>Agnieszka Polska, <a href=\"https:\/\/agnieszkapolska.net\/thenewsun.html\">The New Sun<\/a>, 2017 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"38333\" src=\"https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/comrade-sun-to-what-extent-does-the-cosmos-play-a-part-in-historical-processes\/54856848183_ef08d29c10_c\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/54856848183_ef08d29c10_c.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"799,192\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"54856848183_ef08d29c10_c\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/54856848183_ef08d29c10_c-300x72.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/54856848183_ef08d29c10_c.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"799\" height=\"192\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/54856848183_ef08d29c10_c.jpg 799w, https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/54856848183_ef08d29c10_c-300x72.jpg 300w, https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/54856848183_ef08d29c10_c-768x185.jpg 768w, https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/54856848183_ef08d29c10_c-450x108.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\"\/><br \/><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zhiyuanyang.com\/\">Zhiyuan Yang<\/a>, Make A Little Sun, 2024<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Chizhevsky\u2019s theory is one of the main inspirations behind the essayistic group exhibition <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hmkv.de\/exhibition\/exhibition-detail\/Genossin_Sonne_en.html\">Genossin Sonne (Comrade Sun)<\/a> at HMKV in Dortmund.

Some revolutions that align with sunspot activity stand out clearly, such as the French Revolution or the fall of Communism in 1989\u20139. Others, however, are absent. The Haitian Revolution (1791-1804) isn\u2019t there. Neither are the revolts that were suppressed. Nor the upheavals our Western-centric perspective never took into consideration.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you are seduced by Chizhevsky\u2019s theory on the parallels between solar activity and mass human behaviour or not, it\u2019s hard to ignore the crucial impact of the sun on all aspects of our lives. The massive star functions on the one hand as a source of life and energy for political struggles and on the other as a warning figure whose sheer mass and lifespan underline the brevity of human life (and humanity as a whole) on planet Earth. <\/p>\n<p>Here are a few of the works that i discovered in the exhibition:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"38309\" src=\"https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/comrade-sun-to-what-extent-does-the-cosmos-play-a-part-in-historical-processes\/54856848208_f69c4bfd49_c\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/54856848208_f69c4bfd49_c.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,449\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"54856848208_f69c4bfd49_c\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/54856848208_f69c4bfd49_c-300x168.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/54856848208_f69c4bfd49_c.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/54856848208_f69c4bfd49_c.jpg 800w, https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/54856848208_f69c4bfd49_c-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/54856848208_f69c4bfd49_c-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/54856848208_f69c4bfd49_c-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><br \/><em>Anton Vidokle, The Communist Revolution was Caused by the Sun, 2015, video, \u00a9 Anton Vidokle<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"38310\" src=\"https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/comrade-sun-to-what-extent-does-the-cosmos-play-a-part-in-historical-processes\/vidokle_communist_revelution\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vidokle_Communist_Revelution.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"700,394\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Vidokle_Communist_Revelution\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vidokle_Communist_Revelution-300x169.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vidokle_Communist_Revelution.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vidokle_Communist_Revelution.jpg 700w, https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vidokle_Communist_Revelution-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vidokle_Communist_Revelution-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\"\/><br \/><em>Anton Vidokle, The Communist Revolution was Caused by the Sun, 2015, video, \u00a9 Anton Vidokle<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Anton Vidokle- THE COMMUNIST REVOLUTION WAS CAUSED BY THE SUN (Institute of the Cosmos)\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Fxxxr6LC5FM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

The installation consists of a culture of spirulina microalgae inside a one-square-metre bioreactor placed in front of a window. Through photosynthesis, the microalgae produces edible biomass, becoming a \u201cSolar Share\u201d, a new economic unit corresponding to the average daily biomass yield on one square metre of the Earth\u2019s surface. Sunlight is literally transformed into value that can be consumed, exchanged or stored as a currency. <\/p>\n<p>The Solar Share project challenges prevailing economic models by highlighting human dependence on photosynthesis and proposes phytobiomass (here as edible microalgae) as a new economic unit.

Le Roux was a Dutch anthropologist working in India at a time when the Netherlands controlled a part of it, and to Ho Rui An\u2019s great surprise, the statue had traces of sweat on its back. It is from this image of \u2018colonial sweat\u2019 that the artist investigates how the merciless sun of colonised countries was beating down on European colonialist bodies and how the images we have of the colonialists clad in pristine white outfits are completely unrealistic. The installation features a solar-powered Queen Elisabeth toy, a print of the sweaty wax figure, a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Punkah\">punka<\/a> colonial fan and a video documenting a performance lecture. Each in their own way, these elements symbolise the colonial project and its attempts to resist the tropical sun. <\/p>\n<p>In the lecture, Ho Rui An attempts to recover the image of colonial sweat, to rewrite the tropes and images that are still circulating about colonial bodies. Using excerpts from films, archive photos as well as contemporary images, the artist appropriates the format of colonial lectures of anthropologists who travelled to the colonies to collect images that they brought back to the European cities in the form of lively narratives full of exotic and astonishing facts and photos that would enthral audiences. <\/p>\n<p>The work also resonates with the contemporary, with this moment of global meltdown where our own sweaty backs remind us of the power of the sun.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chronicles of the Dark Sun \/ Trailer \/ 28th Ji.hlava IDFF\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mcXGe_z0pys?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>Gwenola Wagon, <a href=\"https:\/\/d-w.fr\/en\/projects\/chronicles-of-the-dark-sun\/\">Chronicles of the Dark Sun<\/a>, 2023<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Gwenola Wagon\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/d-w.fr\/en\/projects\/chronicles-of-the-dark-sun\/\">Chronicles of the Dark Sun<\/a> is a dystopian tale set in a not-so-distant future when humans who have survived climate collapse and war are forced to shelter from the rays of the sun.
