The Munich-based artists Veronica Burnuthian, Aelita le Quément, Santiago Archila Salcedo, and Vincent Hannwacker are presenting their exhibition “FRÉMITO” at the KUNSTARKADEN with a hypnotic and colorful blend of works that explore dreamscapes, spirituality, and the subconscious.

Aelita le Quément transforms the space with her painterly wallpaper and wall works into a four-dimensional hall of mirrors. The enclosing walls reveal their limits through torn, cracked surfaces—a state of physical transformation. The shredded surface points to a cycle of decay, corruption, and rebirth, a condensed essence of birth, life, and death.

Veronica Burnuthian addresses mental health, queer identity, cultural memory, and systemic inequality in her work. These themes flow into her music project Soft Violet, which combines electronic sounds with spoken word passages. This synthesis creates a space for emotional and intellectual engagement. In her paintings, a remarkable development unfolds—from initial explosive emotionality to more subtle, reflective works. This transformation reflects a deeper engagement with the complex themes that shape her art. In her artistic practice, Veronica Burnuthian experiences the act of creation as a multilayered process of reparation and survival. She fills historical and personal gaps with silk—a material of symbolic power that embodies both fragility and strength. This directly relates to the Armenian experience: her act of sewing is a traditional act of survival, embodying the resilience and creative will of a people who have continuously re-created and preserved culture, language, and memory after trauma—often through matrilineal transmission.

Vincent Hannwacker presents paintings that play with the colors and motifs of summer. They feature pop-inspired figures that appear both alluring and mysterious. The works resemble snapshots and fragments from unfinished stories.

Santiago Archila Salcedo explores themes ranging from new mythology to reinterpretations of biblical moments, drawing on fantastical worlds. At the Kunstarkaden, he presents installative drawings and an installation made of cattle bones, together forming a comic-style collage. An accompanying video installation deepens the visual and thematic impact of the works, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the complex narratives.

For the Long Night of Museums on October 18, 2025, the artists invite visitors to a special program highlight:
At 8, 9, and 10 pm, a Midnight Screening will take place, featuring specially produced short films in the genres of horror and science fiction. These cinematic works enter into a thrilling dialogue with live music, which reinterprets and intensifies the atmosphere of the films. The interplay of image and sound creates an immersive experience that transposes the themes of the exhibition onto another sensory level.
