second hand memories Serie / 2023 / 3c Siebdruck / 5 + 1P / 43 × 32 

Die Serigrafien repräsentieren Flohmarktfunde als verzerrte Abstraktionen und verbinden sie mit ihrer verloren geglaubten Biografie. Dabei wird die Rolle des Sammelns bei der Konstruktion von Identität, Erinnerung und Narrativität betont, sowie dessen soziale Dimension und Verbindung zu Gemeinschaften und kulturellen Praktiken.

»Heute verleihe ich meinen Stift. Ich verleihe ihn an das Papier des neuen Notizbuchs, an die alte Frau, die mich am Morgen in der Straßenbahn um Hilfe bat (...). Ich verleihe ihn an was ich zuvor gelesen habe, an die Umgebung, in der ich mich befinde, das Wetter, die Jahreszeit, die Geräusche. (...) An die Freundin, mit der ich ein Atelier teile. Meine Hand ist heute nur ihr Werkzeug.« Anna Geiger, Julia Witzeneder

“wir leihen uns Worte verschränken Blicke verknüpfen Gesten

wo du anfängst und ich aufhöre wächst Raum für uns beide

denn ich bin mir zu eng geworden, doch gemeinsam ist da Weite und wir teilen diesen Ort, den wir uns errichtet haben”

girl playing is a series of works that reflect the adult state of being a girl. In terms of both form and content, it is about the state of childlike freedom or even uninhibitedness before the social conditioning and its transfer into adulthood.

watch a snipped of the video performance häuten, which depicts the obsession with an authentic identity; a visualized attempt to uncover an alleged truth or final version of oneself that is stripped of the layers one carries as a form of social masking to meet presumed ideas

in this short term installation, the artist took up an isolated room in an old vacant industrial complex, showing 4 large scale self-portraits. In the background, the narration of an inner monologue echoes through old ventilation shafts. With only the paintings being illuminated and nothing to hear but the voice of the artist herself, the space intensifies an intimacy that grips the visitors almost instantly when they enter. Without a chance to withdraw themselves, the spectators move cautiously, as if anxious to intrude. The artist herself having to bear the vulnerability resulting from the lack of privacy.   a gathering of aliens / 2021

This sound piece was created to prompt viewers to actively participate in the installation. In order to listen, the audience had to bridge the physical distance between themselves and the globes. A nod to the underlying themes of intimacy and connection in the artist's work.

Leaving Eden It’s been a while since I heard them talk to each other. Someone said they separated but I don’t know about that. You see separation is different, it’s about the altering of connection. But this was about the absence of such. [...] They had long outgrown my paradise

This series of prints deals with the artist's subjective and objective perception of individuals, which results in a hybrid being born out of this tension. It is confusingly similar to its original, but physically manifests the artist's personal relationship with the subject.

This installation was crafted within the former off-space once managed by "edition:". Bathed in dreamlike lighting, it evokes nostalgic childhood memories of initial train journeys and adventures.
