Opening: 5.9.2017, 7pm
Location: EIKON Schaufenster, Q21 in MuseumsQuartier Wien / Schauräume, Museumsplatz 1, 1070 Vienna


“Elisabeth Czihak’s works talk about the transformation of a seeming constant, as well as of the duration and the perseverance of architectonic bodies, traces of life and memories. Holding on to the transient, the hidden and the no longer existing, is one of the comprehensive themes of her documentary photography and the mostly abstract paper and wall drawings.” (Annette Südbeck)

With the current wallpaper-installation “Add-on”, paired with photographs arranged across the room, Czihak’s interest lies in the construction of space and its appropriation, aiming for architectonic expansion and a new sense of already given circumstances.
