Between what was and what remains
What stays with us when we close our eyes? The group exhibition “Snapshots: Faded Memories” brings together drei approaches that explore, in different ways, the fleeting nature of the moment, the layering of reality, and the rediscovery of the everyday.
Anna Pascher – The Echo of Memory
The works of Anna Pascher (born in 1983 in Bad Oeynhausen, lives and works in Düsseldorf, studied at the AMD in Düsseldorf) operate at the intersection of figurative representation and painterly dissolution. In her acrylic works on canvas, she focuses on seemingly everyday table scenes and depictions of food, which are, however, elevated to the transcendent through her technique. Pascher isolates fragments from their context and allows them to float in an undefined color space. They are visual records of memory: unclear, partly blurred, yet emotionally present.
Sebastian Herzau – The Aesthetics of Concealment
Sebastian Herzau (born in 1980 in Schönebeck, lives in Halle/S., studied at Burg Giebichenstein under Ute Pleuger) challenges the classical traditions of portraiture and still life in his paintings. His works in oil on canvas captivate with their fascinating complexity: Classic motifs such as bouquets of flowers are rendered with an atmospheric blurriness through deliberate overpainting. Particularly striking is Herzau’s play with disruption: neon-orange tapes stretch across his portraits, appearing like a digital interference in an analog world. Herzau stages the very process of seeing and challenges us to look beyond the surface.
Philipp Liehr – Expeditions into the Familiar
The sculptor Philipp Liehr (born in 1986 in Kitzingen, lives in Halle/S.) translates contemporary narratives into the traditional medium of wood sculpture. His sculptures, crafted from linden wood, depict figures such as astronauts or explorers, whom he, however, removes from their heroic context and places in wonderfully human, often humorous everyday situations. In Liehr’s work, an astronaut with a wheeled suitcase becomes a symbol of our own search for the unknown within the ordinary. With technical precision and a touch of whimsy, Liehr brings the material of wood to life and creates tangible snapshots of our modern society.
