Vernissage 2024-11-30   17:00 – 20:00

 

What is this world, and who are we in it?

How much does it change us, while we find where we fit?

The shapes of us, hiding in the waters of our minds.

As time dissolves them right before our eyes.


In "VANITAS VANITATUM" her first solo-exhibition in Japan, Austrian artist Kathrin Hanga presents a distinct series of superimposed analog photographs within an immersive viewing environment; exploring the impermanent nature of a fundamental aspect of our existence. Our memories make up the core of how we see ourselves. And this core, the ego, certainly feels very solid. But how much of our identity is a product of the world, not of ourselves? And what will remain once our memories fade away?

Kathrin Hanga

Hanga (1988 Vienna) studied at Sorbonne Nouvelle and L’École Internationale de Théatre Jacques Lecoq in Paris. Her background in theater and film have led her to search for kineticism in her photography; the search for spontaneity only allowed through the honing of her technique and craft. Through the medium of film photography, and the use of analog printing techniques, Hanga creates images that dwell in the space between fact and fiction.

Hanga works as a curator for the artist collective Gottrekorder e.v.
