The book project “Haus Atlantis” was created as part of the exhibition “Bernhard Hoetger and the Expressives” from June 19 to October 23, 2016 at the Große Kunstschau Worpswede. During this time, the Israeli artist Karen Russo (1974) was a guest in the artists' houses and was concerned with the mystical Nordic architecture of Hoetger, who is considered a controversial artist and Nazi sympathizer. The book “Haus Atlantis” documents Russo’s film project through drawings and photographs. Her work includes a complex layering to explore artistic ideas, irrationality and nationalism. She particularly highlights the expressionist building "Haus Atlantis", designed by Hoetger and businessman Ludwig Roselius. The building was intended to boost the self-esteem of the German people and combined Nordic mythology with pseudo-scientific futuristic architecture. By combining his architecture with historical film footage and science fiction, she makes the fascination of this art visible while at the same time remaining at a distance from Hoetger's content. Russo's film, on which the publication was based, shows the magnificent interiors of the building as well as archival materials and images of the building in its current state as a hotel.

The project was made possible through the collaboration of museums and artists' houses and financed by the generous support of Stiftung Kunstfonds and Artis New York. The book project was initiated by Tim Voss (former director of the Worpswede Artists' Houses). Karen Russo's contemporary artistic perspective has changed the perception of Hoetger in Worpswede. It clearly shows that the fundamental compatibility of Expressionism and National Socialism is visible in his art. Russo's work was also shown alongside newer works in a solo exhibition at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. The publication “Karen Russo – House Atlantis” is about the Künstlerhäuser Worpswede e.V. can be ordered for the price of 24 euros.
