In the exhibition, conceived as a multidisciplinary project, Leo Hainzl addresses a departure from pictorial ideas. He deals with the relativization of traditional sexuality and the current problems that a media-influenced society has with it.

Artificiality is a mass-market surrogate that promises inviolability, ideally even admiration. Androgynous depictions of the body irritate the perception of the viewer or try to stir up their views on socially tolerated behaviors.

In image reflections with slightly abstract implementations, Leo Hainzl explores the question of how artists deal with unexpected challenges in a (post-)pandemic phase. How can collective development in a precarious situation be made comprehensible and visible?

The question of how to use analogue painting media to set the beginning and end of a physical work remains complex.
