trau, schau, wem?

Deception and confusion, a sudden realisation thwarts an irritation. But can it be trusted? Is the analogue visible of digital origin? Or is everything different? The works collected here not only place high demands on pure "watching", a strongly formative, artistic will also directs the senses in all directions and raises questions that could not be more simple or elementary: Is it real rain in Rain by Magdalene Barthofer? Is the abstract effect of the rotating wooden window sashes in TURRET by Björn Kämmerer a digital trick? Where do the voices and sounds in Michael Palm's Laws of Physics come from? From the drain in the backyard, which is persistently zoomed in on, or from a room off-screen? You have to be attentive, but even then you can be mistaken.

In Rising Fall by Lukas Marxt, you often get the impression that the colourful spectacle of nature, especially in the last part of the triptych-style nature study, is actually "unnatural" and resembles the colouring of old photographs. These works play with both the visible and the invisible, which repeatedly flash up in our imagination. (Ute Katschthaler)
