Gabi Trinkaus and Michael Goldgruber work in a hyperrealistic manner with constructed realities from the spheres of lifestyle and infotainment.
In loose juxtaposition, installations with illuminated showcases, projections of computer animations, photographic work and classical panel paintings are shown.
Gabi Trinkaus presents illuminated showcases and collages with material from glossy print magazines and advertisements. In her use of such fragments she parodies and criticises a fake, uniform world wrapped in clichés.
Michael Goldgruber presents digitally abstracted icons of daily TV. A hand using a remote control rotates in an endless loop looking for new channels. Abstracted images taken from talk shows are painted in black oil paint on white canvas as fragmented structures in the shape of their disappearance. Both of their work is based on an idea of existential insecurity and forlornness of the individual in an net of compensatory actions and artificial needs.
