About

Adriana Affortunati shows 15 artworks made with material donated by locals. The graphic subtlety of her pieces require a silent athmosphere created by the light design of Jakob Wiesmayer and the music from Nikolaus Yvon. A poem by Margit Werner - Pietsch entitled Die mit die Staub tanzt  (The one who dances with dust)  written about the artist in 2020, is part of the exhibition - as an object.

"Stripped of her excited lucidity and compassion, Adriana brings back to life something that was thought to be withered, it has reappeared in its forms, although it may be unappetizing for some. It is the ominous moment of its fecundity, that animal intelligence, which recalls the flirtation of a youthful crush, hunting, seduction, the endless flings of love until the moment of conception, even though it carries in it the trace of the animal that eats its pair after copulating...."
