Comments: Comments: exhibition catalogue

In their works, Karina Mendreczky and Katalin Kortmann-Járay draw on objects and natural elements in a variety of ways, referencing collective and personal histories. With the installation "Oasis - People Look Like Flowers At Last" they create a fictional space - a kind of story that will be shown for the first time in September 2022 in an abandoned space, a former laboratory of the Semmelweiss Clinic, this year's venue of the 10th edition of Parallel Vienna. Composed of small sculptures, large concrete sculptures and gently floating prints, the scenes are reminiscent of a timeless walk-in landscape. Whether or not this is a piece of the past, whether we are on the scene of a future post-apocalypse revival, ultimately remains undecided. The hybrid creatures and objects, which often refer to folk tales and mythological motifs, are accompanied by female figures. These associate care and nurturing and appear as a life-sustaining force traditionally associated with women. The translucent human figures float on woven and delicately translucent printed surfaces or embrace sculptural elements. In this fairy tale, people - in this case women - have no saviors, or it could simply be nature coming to meet them. In an atmospheric symbiosis, objects and prints mutually project an image of life and transience onto each other, evoking a superficially unknown yet familiar memory.
