In the Dadaist cosmos of ‘Kyoto Morph and the Four Feet of Benjamin’, poetic and absurd visual worlds unfold between dream and reality. Babi Brüller, Luisa Baldhuber, Florian Donnerstag and Nina Markhardt interweave painting, installation, sculpture and expanded pictorial spaces to create a symphonic landscape of colour. Between Far Eastern tranquillity and urban surrealism, whimsical scenarios emerge that draw the eye and arouse curiosity without giving too much away. A kaleidoscopic togetherness that invites you to linger with humour and poetry.

 

In her work, Babi Brüller explores her family’s Jewish heritage as well as social structures and the power of authoritarian collectives. Movable, mostly life-size dolls in slightly grotesque depictions occupy the exhibition space. Large-format paintings show groups of similar, androgynous individuals (e.g. choir singers, schoolchildren, soldiers) in surreal spaces in which the uncanny dynamics of these groupings are inherent.

In her artistic work, Luisa Baldhuber deals with the interplay of color, space and light and their influence on our perception. Based on classical painting, she transfers color surfaces into space, breaks through architectural structures and opens up new dimensions between fiction and reality.

Florian Donnerstag’s work deals with the ambivalence between form and design. Breaks, asymmetries and the deliberate questioning of content serve as artistic tools in his paintings. In his practice, content becomes a formal element that unfolds beyond unambiguous symbolism and develops an anti-symbolic effect. In this way, he creates works that defy any unambiguous legibility and open up new narrative levels.

Nina Markhardt explores the role of fungi and algae on different levels of time and works with biodegradable materials. Her bioplastic sculptures and paintings stand for a sustainable artistic approach and address the interconnectedness of all living beings.
