HIGH NOON

A light breeze. Water dripping, a clock ticking.
The tension is immense and keeps growing. Breathing is hard. It is slowly getting unbearable. It will all be over soon, but for now time seems infinite.

The scenery is equally before and after the climax. A dragging heaviness competes against a redeeming levity. Petrified and melting, inside and outside of form. In the space itself, as in every object it is constructed out of.

A gun cocked. In the blink of an eye, all ambiguity between ease and suspense spills into a single story. The trigger pulled. Seconds turn into years. Eyes follow like echoes. The redeemer is a gunshot away.

With works by Volo Bevza, Neckar Doll, Ina Aloisia Ebenberger, Judith Gattermayr, Lenard Giller, Sebastian Lou, Mimi Neitsch, Felix Pöchhacker, Aiko Shimotsuma and Kiky Thomanek.
