Untitled Homeless

The “Fragmented Body” installation consists of handmade videos that look at various phenomena of human existence – pain, love, friendship, sensuality, and violence.  There are five video monitors in the gallery space, one on top of the other, forming a tower two meters high. This monolithic video column forms an independent media body presenting separate points of view on its surface. Each individual sequence has a characteristic audio recording, and as a consequence this fragmented media tower creates a variable polyphonic sound. The “Untitled Homeless” installation consists of three snowballs under which we expect to find a homeless person. But there is so much snow that this seems impossible. Each careless movement causes the figure to disappear

Untitled Homeless
As we find ourselves in times that have extensive socio-political implications, the exhibition thematizes the insecurity, the suspicion and post-factuality gradually digging into our lives more and more. The many ambivalent mechanisms trough which we cope with this uncertainty and multiplicity of artistic processes (either politically-critical, or completely non-factual and sensual, scientific or even speculative) of the abandonment of what is considered “real” or “rational” take their forms in the interconnected realms of the technological, the natural, the mystical, the symbolical.
