VISIONS

Abstract mixed media art installation with a large, irregularly shaped reflective mirror mounted on a white wall, surrounded by glowing light edges, and textured, colorful materials hanging around it, reflected on the shiny gray floor.

The goal of the upcoming period is to create a multimedia exhibition. This explores the complex relationship between individual subjectivity and collective experience in times of „acceleration and alienation“ (Hartmut Rosa). The focus is on the individual in their subjectivity in relation to the collective and the ambiguity that this relationship entails between emancipatory factors such as the pursuit of independence and individuality and the need for „connectedness“ (Kae Tempest).

SOLOSHOW

May/June 2023

A person sitting on a rock at the beach during twilight, with the ocean waves in the background and promotional text for an art exhibition titled "Eros y Ambigüedad" by Severin Hallauer, opening date and location details.

The exhibition deals with the experience of an amour fou between cultures, the change of perspective, the attempt and the failure, the violence, the obsession, the loss of oneself and the terrible silence in the face of the threatening death.

Through works in a variety of media, the artist intimately confronts the experience of his first great love, whom Hallauer met unexpectedly in Mexico and who had a decisive influence on his life in his new adopted country.

The artist relentlessly reveals his feelings, the overcoming of a traumatic experience and tries to reconcile with her in a poetic way. 

In the spacious rooms of the Luis Adelantado Gallery, viewers are confronted with a video performance, a video, sculptures, installations, paintings and photographs and, not least, with themselves again.
