About
Created against the backdrop of a global multicrisis - pandemic, climate change, and war, Petra von Kazinyan’s solo show ANIMALIA captures the fragile nowness.
Oscillating between figuration and abstraction, Petra’s works deal with the polarity of duration and transience in the post-digital age. What does the future hold for us? Where is our future society heading?
The exhibited works reflect an extraordinary time and, in the field of tension between the past and present, point to a future that is currently being rewritten.
„Working with subjects of old-masters, Petra von Kazinyan uses the element of the animal not only to create a version of an alter ego and additional layer but to add moments of disruption and confrontation.
The renaissance-venus gets covered by brush strokes, showing a different ductus, simulating the algorithmic view on the female body in social media. Leaving gaps that are filled by the viewer’s own imagination. The already existing archetype is still present in our minds but taken away by technology and society. What is left is the question of our very own presence: Do we need to hide what defines us to get seen?“
(Katharina Pohler, art historian)
