Group exhibition curated by Eva Karcher and Bernhart Schwenk, Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, Germany, 2024

The exhibition ECCENTRIC explores the multifaceted spectrum of identity and humanity. The artists experiment with a wide variety of materials and techniques. They look at and work on their motives and subjects from the most surprising perspectives. They distort, deform or liquefy figures and forms, combine them to form hybrid or amorphous compositions.
THE CARDS YOU WERE DEALT is a project exploring choice, transgenerational dialogue, and transformation through tattooing. Developed from a corporal intervention and performance at the gallery in February 2024, the work featured texts reflecting 21st-century phenomena. Participants who agreed to be tattooed could select three texts for the next participant, with placement and composition determined collaboratively with the artist. The resulting tattoos formed a continuous text piece— a physical exquisite corpse—mirrored in painted lightboxes, symbolizing our interconnected experiences.
