KS ROOM,
Kornberg bei Riegersburg
holy
mind mapping
windows overlapping
the space between
flat as a screen
praying for attention
paying for expansion
over privileged
stream of serial distraction
with not a single action
a never ending fight
vote left or right
make ur shape look tight
lonely net working
smart swipe
full on delusion
endless confusion
framed bits but
no conclusion

The KS Room is now becoming an intermediary space between the virtual and analog worlds. The current century can no longer be organized; especially on the internet, everything is just a click away. Social media also enables self-presentation or the creation of fake profiles. This diversity is illustrated by the depictions of women in the large wall installation. The veil of a Madonna transitions into a headscarf and then into the uniform of female fighters. However, the flood of images also generates a return to deceleration and the analog. This gave rise to object collages that sculpturally challenge the images. Old vessel and ceramic objects are combined in the same way as virtual found objects.
The boundary between the worlds is increasingly blurring. The various windows in the exhibition illustrate this contemporary phenomenon. Time and space intermingle, whether online or offline.
