Nora Schultz - Ganz grosse Flüsse laufen unter der Erde. major rivers running underground

In the organizer's words:

Nora Schultz's multidimensional practice encompasses sculptural, filmic and appropriative elements as well as printmaking, performance and language.For her exhibitions, she combines these into expansive installations in which the individual parts interact with each other. Her works usually relate to the space, so that they can be understood as a kind of speaking with and about the space: For example, by inscribing themselves into the space, taking up its structures or completely appropriating it. The central moments here are displacement, destabilization and transformation. Her works often appear to be in a precariously fragile state - somehow out of balance, faltering or in limbo. But only to the extent that it still "holds". Nora Schultz's aim is therefore not to destroy something, but rather to soften, disturb, question and disorientate it - be it architecture, structures, surfaces, borders or realities. For only when something is dissolved can it be uncovered and thus revealed from a different, unknown perspective. Although Schultz's works thus find their starting point in a very concrete space with the exhibition space, they nevertheless point beyond it and weave countless threads that open up a physical, sensual, social and political awareness of relationships, systems, structures, circumstances and conditions.
