Rebeka Csombordi: Under pressure
Wed, 13.03.2024–18.03.2024
In our fast-paced everyday lives, waiting for the next event is the only constant. Thoughts about the future create a whirlwind of hopes and fears that distract us from the here and now. Take a moment to reflect on timeless mountains that have been moulded over millennia by the dance of natural forces. By connecting with the gradual transformation of geological formations, we learn to appreciate the subtle changes of life and find fulfilment in the journey itself. Mindfulness becomes our anchor, guiding us back to the present moment amidst the chaos of future-orientated thoughts. Just as nature creates its masterpieces over eons, we too can cultivate patience and presence and free ourselves from the burden of expectation.
Anna Buchner: Dream Rotation Symmetries
Tue, 19.03.2024 – 25.03.2024
In the lure of fantasy, the line between imagination and reality becomes blurred.In moments of inertia, we retreat into worlds of thought and create dreams or memories. The mind turns out to be an architect that reshapes our perception of reality. Carl Jung and Wolfgang Pauli explored this concept by combining psychology and physics to analyse dreams and give them a structure. The outer reality is permeated by significant memories and shapes the inner reality.The artwork shows how Vienna’s places lose their significance over time and become everyday urban features.
