Chaos in the Vicinity of a Singularity

About

‘Chaos in the Vicinity of a Singularity’ gently and tactilely explores the tumultuous convergence of diverse realities. How do we perceive them, if at all, and do they impart any significance upon us?

Walloschke‘s artworks beckon us to contemplate our grasp on reality. Our lives teem with an incessant flood of thoughts and sensations. By stimulating our senses in the present moment, the artist endeavors to reconnect us with the innate curiosity that once guided our understanding of the world.

Delving into the intrinsic connections woven by our minds, Walloschke ventures into realms both distant and near to Vorfluter, illuminating the unseen threads that bind our existence.

In her observation of resource usage and labor in the production of everyday goods, Walloschke intertwines themes of inequity and exploitation. At the heart of the exhibition lies the still life painting ‘Vanilla‘, wherein Madagascan vanilla pods are ensconced in thick plastic - a poignant departure from the sweet associations typically evoked by vanilla. Instead, it serves as a symbol of toil and exploitation, conveying a sense of the harsh realities endured by its cultivators.

The artist examines the subtle intricacies of cause and effect, illuminating the interconnectedness of humanity‘s shared reality. Through ‘Chaos in the Vicinity of a Singularity‘, disparate worlds converge playfully, challenging our perceptions and expanding our horizons.

This relentless amalgamation of seemingly disparate elements serves to honor the complexity of reality, inviting viewers to confront the chaotic tapestry of existence with openness and curiosity.

In this exhibition, a Costa Rican farmer talks about aliens, plastic wrapping drifts through Neukölln, a dried-out river reveals shiny bubbles, Madagascan vanilla struggles on the canvas, and a desperate artist sculpts new worlds out of clay, just to have a plan B in case the mirror portal closes.

‘Chaos in the Vicinity of a Singularity’ evokes a sense of joyful lostness, urging viewers to em​brace the present moment openly and to perceive the world through fresh eyes.
