Within the exhibition project Olivia Abächerli, Andrea Fortmann, and Katrin Keller explore self-reflection, precarity, the silencing and amplifying of voices, and the interconnectedness of these themes. Through repetition, juxtaposition, and resonance, the works on view reveal multiple points of connection. Through their respective independent artistic strategies, the three artists pose their questions as physically tangible gestures, offering a subjective perspective on the instability of our existence.
