Auf der suche nach der verlorenen Einheit. (Searching for the lost Unity)
perspectives of transformation

Curated by Marcello Farabegoli and Ute Burkhardt-Bodenwinkler

The Mexican artists Guadalupe Aldrete, Sofia Cruz Rocha and Paula Flores, who live and work in Vienna, approach the general concept of transformation from the perspectives of individual experience, hermetic philosophy and knowledge through nature, respectively. The concept of duality plays an essential role. The three artists are in search of fundamental changes that would allow them to dialectically overcome duality and experience new unitywith themselves, the natural world or even the cosmos on a higher or changed level of consciousness. This extraordinary striving probably has to do with their cultural background, whereby less Latin American rather more pre-Columbian cultural elements should be decisive. These "archetypal" elements merge with western as well as Asian world views to sensual, contentwise dense and altogether very exciting works of art. Last but not least, the research-scientific attitude of the artists lends their work an essential conceptual foundation.
