Through the Spectacle
Cinq artistes autrichiens. Une exposition exceptionnelle.
Jari Genser, Alja Piry, Georg Pinteritsch, Samira Saidi et Peter Schreiner se réunissent pour partager leur regard sur le monde. L’expérience commune de développer des corps d’oeuvres au coeur de Paris, au milieu d’une pandémie, est transformée en pièces corrélées entre elles par associations.
Par des stratégies de réinterprétation, d’appropriation, de déconstruction et de répétition, ces créateurs très différents font dialoguer leurs oeuvres. Ainsi, de nouvelles questions sont soulevées, de nouvelles symbioses sont créées et de nouvelles perspectives sont trouvées.
Georg Pinteritsch s’inspire des mythes de torture de la Grèce antique. Peter Schreiner invite à un jeu de navigation à travers l’espace. Alja Pity présente une nouvelle perspective sur
l’ordinaire qui nous entoure. Jari Genser joue avec la répétition et le temps, et Samira Saidi entame un dialogue avec des pionnières de la couleur.
Une expérience expérimentale présentée au Comfort Mental.

ALJA PIRY
(*1982, Ljubljana) Alja Piry received her degree in Art History from the University of Ljubljana (2007) and a degree in Fine Art from the University of Applied Arts in Vienna (2010). Merging personal expression and critical interrogation, Piry documents, collects and edits visual and textual contents to poetic narratives. Her work takes form of artist books, photographic series and video essays. She uses aesthetic principles rooted in conceptualist legacy to investigate the seemingly unimportant, ephemeral phenomena of the social, natural and emotional realms and to claim their importance within the value systems that determine our perception.
