Handful of Dust
Handful of Dust is a reflection on what remains when meaning fades. The exhibition explores untranslatable fragments, obsolete gestures, and materials that continue to exist even after their function has been lost. It is not about nostalgia or archaeology, but about residues — things that have fallen out of time yet still quietly persist. The […]
Swarming Tongues
The exhibition centres itself around the medicalisation of feeling, anxieties of late-stage capitalism, the decay of intimate connections, and the search for survival strategies in the environment of emotional excess. Compressed, repeatedly stretched, and forcefully shaped fondant refers to the body as a space of exhaustion and simultaneously rebellion, in which nihilist hope does not […]
Best Before:
Best Before: explores the challenges of preservation – of data, artworks, and life itself. It brings together a series of sculptures whose vertical forms are inspired by geological core samples. Containing mercury, these ambivalent structures function both as measuring instruments and archival devices, where ecological tensions and symbolic narratives intersect. The works engage in dialogue […]
Lily Pad(fall)
Lily Pad(fall) is the second of Hjort’s exhibition series of four exhibitions, one for each season. Lily Pad is the military slang for CSL (cooperative security location). CSLs are America’s hidden military bases located in a host nation. The bases are small and contain ammunition, are often manned and prepared to fight. In addition Lily […]
Lightworkers
It is hard to describe being, especially being with someone. What is hidden in the body is sometimes elusive, often contained in gestures, in sheer presence. When darkness falls, we are unable to see each other, but we still know that we are together. It is accepted that the path towards light is a journey […]
ugly
Barbora Lepsi has created a series of monumental abstract paintings for the HYB4 Gallery exhibition space, works that directly respond to the venue and consistently develop her long-term theme of abstract expression.The resulting artworks are grounded in a confident gestural expression, spontaneity, and a precise sensitivity to composition and color. The presentation is an integral […]
Handle with Care: Navigating Fragile Futures
The deconstructed Tesla Cybertruck – an icon of apocalyptic capitalist enthusiasm for technology- hangs expansively in shiny black latex like a corset in sic! Elephanthouse. Red-hot lights reinforce the dystopian vision of a post-apocalyptic world. Inspired by Blade Runner and posthuman life on Mars, Elon Musk developed the final stage of the SUV as a […]
NULL-Object
In the context of computer programming, the “Null Object” represents a special state of absence—an unfilled pointer or uninitialized variable. The ambiguity of this absent state lies in the fact that it is by no means a simple “nothingness,” but rather a clearly defined “emptiness.” The concept of “emptiness,” with its distinctly Eastern connotations (such […]
Manche Bonbon bleiben in den Augen kleben
The title of the Exhibition (translation: Some Sweets Stick to the Eyes) refers to an experience oscillating between perception, memory, and effect. Here, color appears not merely as a visual phenomenon, but as a carrier of impressions that take hold. For color perception is shaped not only by light and surface, but also by stored […]
Erleuchtung ist ausverkauft [Enlightenment is sold out]

With their exhibition „Erleuchtung ist ausverkauft“ [Enlightenment ist sold out] Animationseries2000 casts a glance at the spiritual surplus of consumer culture. Between wellness and escapism unfolds an […]
