FRAKT - As Long as There is Light
Månesyk
Månesyk is Katja Høst's account of loss and reconciliation through photography, collage and text. The role of photography as a vessel for memory, and art's capacity to accommodate the non-linear nature of grief and its processing, are dissected in a visual search for both what has been lost, and what never was.
No One Left to Blame
Charlie Hay's No One Left to Blame documents places around the world where people have chosen to end their own lives, transforming familiar landscapes into emotionally charged spaces. The project grew out of the question 'why?', after a close friend took his own life, and has since grown into a space for opening up conversations about suicide.
Fruiting Bodies
In Ying Ang's Fruiting Bodies, a colony of fungal bodies is portrayed in the parks near Ang's home in Melbourne. In a constant state of transition between growth, decay and renewal, the life cycle of fungi challenges conventional notions of fertility and productivity, connecting mortality to transformation, continuity, and community.
I Wonder If I'm Singing What You're Thinking Me to Sing
C.S. Nicholson's cinematic portrait of Michael Gira's live performance, I Wonder If I'm Singing What You're Thinking Me to Sing, is presented as a hallucination rather than a documentation of an event, unfolding in rhythm with Gira's crushing and cathartic performance. The film opens in a conventional house of worship, where a transgressive artist's performance gradually gives way to an act of surrender and examination of the self and of reality.
I Wonder If I'm Singing What You're Thinking Me to Sing screens in the Project Space* alongside Katja Høst's video installation As Long as There is Light; which is Høst's precursor to Månesyk, and the work that lends its title to the exhibition.
