Lying Daughters

Produced by Johannes Porsch

24. 6. – 4. 8. 2023

Lying Daughters dreht sich um das Falsche im Sinne des Fragwürdigen. Der Ausgangspunkt ist einfach: Sind es die falschen oder richtigen Bilder oder sind es einfach nur Bilder, sind die Bilder einfach nur da? Ist es nichts weiter als das: falsche Zeichnung, falsche Bilder, falsches Setting, falsche Kunst? Oder aber: Der unauflösbare Rest steht der Möglichkeit, einfach nur falsch zu sein, gegenüber. Das bietet die Gelegenheit der Fabrikation. Every word she writes is a lie, even “and” and “but.”

Lying Daughters revolves around the false in the sense of the questionable. The starting point is simple: is it the wrong or right image, or is it just an image, are the images just there? Is it nothing more than that: wrong drawing, wrong images, wrong setting, wrong art? Or else: the irresolvable remainder faces the possibility of just being wrong. This opens up the opportunity to fabricate. Every word she writes is a lie, even “and” and “but.”
