We are guilty, innocent, free, trapped, resigned, helpless, aggressive, loving. In "Look at me", the tangled threads of human experience are spun into a dazzling fabric of our existence. Power comes to the fore. The veiled is dragged into the light. The incomprehensible is displayed on our own bodies.

Dräxler, Lankowitz, Singh and Totzauer have one tool: the gaze. It is the gaze that they distort, dissect and endure. All just to make us take a closer look at this strange world. Curated by Franziska Schrödinger

In her interdisciplinary performances and video installations, Veronika Dräxler (*1986) works with patterns and materials that have led to collective and individual traumas through the abuse of power. She transforms these through specially developed rituals of healing and thus creates new, transformative environments. For the "Veil of Violence", she has printed bridal veil fabric with historical camouflage patterns of military and paramilitary units that were convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court.

The deer has long been shot. By her grandmother, in Styria. Brigitta Maria Lankowitz has wrapped the antlers in gauze bandages. The horn looks soft, no longer aggressive, not a weapon, rather vulnerable, sensitive. But it lies like this, as if under a blanket. Lankowitz calls her work Winterhirsch, a blanket of snow, a snowdrift. Antlers, not on the wall, not in a hunting parlour, but wrapped up and protected. A self-portrait of the artist. The artist with antlers.

Sandra Singh, born in Munich in 1990, is a visual artist, photographer and art educator. In her artistic practice, Singh works at the interface of photography, printmaking and media art. Her focus is on projects and research on issues of border politics, female autonomy and migrant identity. In her work, she focuses on the complex relationship between documentation and fiction and the playful questioning of their boundaries. "Toxic Technoculture Tower" is the first partial presentation of the project "Virtual War (On Women)", which deals with misogyny and internet culture.

In her installations, Janina Totzauer combines the media of video, ceramics and textiles to create new life forms and fantasies. Her artistic practice is characterised by intensive research into nature as a mediator of knowledge, but also by her many years of involvement with customs and traditions in different cultures, such as in her adopted countries of Mozambique and South Africa. Her works dissect human constructs such as patriarchy, imperialism and racism and develop a vision of a possible alternative future.
