RODEO, my new series at Ausstellungsraum Klingenthal, begins with the image of bull riding - a figure for trying to stay balanced while everything is in motion. I use this image to reflect on political, personal, and global upheaval, and on the unstable space between holding on, letting go, and finding one's own rhythm. Humor and resilience are part of this search, not as solutions, but as ways of moving through uncertainty. In this work, resilience is not a stable inner strength. I understand it as something vulnerable, strained, and in need of care. The exhibition unfolds through a sequence of spatial scenes in which ceramic bodies, hands, and caves appear. These forms evoke care, emptiness, transformation, and searching. I am less interested in a linear narrative than in creating a space where disorientation, adaptation, and endurance can be felt.
