family constellation
In the "a piece of reality" approach, Dieter Bornemann photographs and stages everyday objects in such a way that viewers have the illusion of having the real object in front of them. The new technique breaks through the boundaries between classical photography and sculpture. Because photographs become sculptural, three-dimensional objects.
With the series "Family Constellation" Bornemann introduces the idea of multidimensional representation into portrait photography: The Viennese artist family Sengl was photographed in a photo session, and the resulting images were then assembled into three-dimensional photo sculptures.
An additional attraction of the exhibition is the play with the proportions: Each object is additionally available in half the size of the original, but also inflated to twice the size of its original shape. The closeness to reality suddenly becomes bizarreness.
Thus nine photo sculptures of different sizes emerge from three portraits, which stand in tension with each other and represent the relationships of size and power within a family.

Salad Days
The title "Salad Days", a Shakespearean idiom for "happy childhood / youth", refers to the theme of Vienna Artweek 2018 - Promising Paradise.
Karina Mendreczky and Anastasiya Yarovenko, the two winners of the Kunsthalle Wien 2015 Prize, will be showing new works that were created in an individual retrospective of childhood events.
Karina Mendreczky's work is based on old photographs taken during family holidays. Detached from the concrete individual case, these snapshots from a time full of magical moments become the hour of birth of the fairy tale "happy childhood".
Anastasiya Yarovenko investigates the impossibility of paradise through the plant world. She tries to solve the internal conflicts of her - together with her parents - fight against weeds in the garden, which was supposed to secure the basic supply of vegetables in the 1990s, to rediscover the beauty of the "undesirable" in order to reconnect paradise with reality.

WebChain
The assemblages I created as backgrounds for my WebChain series are inspired by star images of NASA and ESA as well as cell images of the Medical Faculty of the University of Ljubljana. With its female protagonist, and the lace background appearing as a big bang in every picture, the WebChain series exports the idea of the mitochondrial Eve into space, which makes us think that the mitochondrial Eve* - symbolized by the female protagonist - is not only something human-bound, but rather world-bound.
The laces intertwined with the protagonist appear in each image like a different creature, once as a tree, then as a bird and then as a spider, to imply how we are all connected to mitochondrial Eve. The mitochondrial Eve is present in us all, regardless of how we appear and are, and can be traced all the way back to the first human and the last child born.
We exist in a lace-like network of nodes and loops and are more interconnected and interdependent than we are often aware.
When a thread breaks, all threads swing ...
Eva Petric, artist
*The mitochondrial Eva is the woman whose mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) gave rise to the mitochondrial DNA of all humans living today.

The exhibition "Urban Networks" deals with phenomena of urban development in which urban space evokes different sociotopes that develop out of the relationship between architecture and users. From this processuality, questions can be derived as to how the public space changes visually and in terms of content in the face of the demands created by population growth and migration. Here, architecture acts as the parameter that promotes social dynamics and affects specific living conditions.

Exhibition: Veronika Suschnig "Drugtales"
Veronika Suschnig's work investigates socio-political changes and extraordinary encounters in everyday life that influence human behavior, especially traumatic experiences that can cause mental disorders and manipulate the psyche sustainably.
Duration: 1 March to 6 April 2018
STEALING HEAVEN is dedicated to the one moment when a certain development culminates and finally breaks. The project tells of life in a windless state, of circumstances to which one has become accustomed, of calm presence, trance; up to a moment of knowledge or action. A moment of rupture in which the self is shipwrecked and spectator at the same time. Seconds, minutes or years could pass before your eyes open.
