WORKS

This page lists all works presented in the SWEAT exhibition. Artistic works were created that address the architectural and climatic features of the gallery and at the same time critically reflect on its historical and social dimensions.

1. DreamerAban Salehi2025Wax, soap

2. Constructed Experience of SafetyCaroline Lerbro2025Wood, temporary construction fence, driveway markers.

As a temporary fence keeps you from entering the construction site, asthe driveway marker tells you about the edge of the road, under the snow;Can one’s experience of safety be constructed? Can one be made tobelieve one is safe due to a restriction?

3. LIVERDominique Altmann2025Porcelain Clay, Wax, Biomaterials (Gelatine, Agar Agar)

“LIVER” deals with the topic of addiction, more specifically alcoholaddiction and its devastating effects on the body. During my work inaddiction support in 2024, I learned more about this complex disease. Inthe course of working on this project, I worked through different stages ofa liver, starting from a healthy towards a pathological state.

4. Amp-horaEnja Grad2025Fired clay

There is duality, there is balance, there is connection. And it holds liquid.

5. LivingEnja Grad2025Fired clay, fired polymer clay

I think it looks like living.

6. Proofs Without CategoryFlo Bogenmayr2025Collected objects from the tunnel (brick fragments, glass, metal, andmore)

My work presents a long and low table on which objects are arranged,collected from within the Limoni Stollen. They are sorted looselyaccording to predetermined criteria such as size, material, colour, andform. This classification does not arise in advance but emergesspontaneously during the process. The table becomes an archive.
“Organised loosely according to type (such as bones, glassware, pottery,metal objects), the viewer finds them in seemingly unhistorical and largelyuninterpreted arrangements.”— Mark Dion
In reference to Mark Dion’s Tate Thames Dig (1999), objects from differenttimes and functions are placed side by side as equals: old next to new,ephemeral pieces next to meaningful artifacts. Their classification remainsopen; Their legibility depends on the viewers’ perspective. The installationserves both as a homage to museological systems and an invitation toquestion them.

7. Not a FungusIlay Hell2025Digital audio sources

This work is an intimate sonic response to a space shaped by silence andthe invisible threads of history. Through voice, vibration, and resonantfrequencies, I attempt to listen beyond what can be heard—to trace whatlingers in the air, the walls, the fungal blooms.

8. WISH YOU WELLIvy Deacon2025Various materials

WISH YOU WELL is a sculptural collage of a scene from The Versace boys.The Versace boys are a group with an ambiguous, malleable gender. TheVersace Boys gather to scribble lovers names, collect BDS* friendly hairgel and apply their collective scent of rebellion and repeat.The scene and text is a combination of auto-fiction, existing historical andliterary narratives and lyrics. The well could be a farewell to a fictionallover or a farewell to Deacon/DJ them self.A tactile, joyous collage of materials and texts.
*Boycott, Divest, Sanction. Boycott Israel

9. Citus x limonJacob Bartmann2025Ceramics, scent

If you bite into a lemon, an acid develops that tightens everything butparticularly affects the sides of the tongue and strongly stimulatessalivation. This reaction is due to the high citric acid content. However,there is more behind the acidity. The taste of a lemon is not only intenselysour but also sharp and tangy. The peel and the white interior alsocontribute a bright, citrus-like aroma and a hint of bitterness.

10. It’s on my mindJeenie Kim (Jieun Kim)2025Ceramic, Metal, Motor

This work explores the gap between personal emotion and collectiveattention. Through sound and form, it invites quiet reflection on what—andwhom—we choose to hear.

11. InfusedKatharina Mitter2025Buckets, sand, water

Water enters the Limonistollen from above, seeps through the rock andwalls, dissolves embedded traces and carries them onward.The work consists of several containers, suspended just above the groundand filled with sand taken from within the tunnel. When water is poured inat regular intervals, the mixture begins to drip.At the center of the installation lies the intermingling of location, material,and memory. The substances of the tunnel—soil, water and sand—areactivated and set in motion. The work does not aim to reconstruct orvisually represent historical events, but to quietly engage with what hasremained hidden, repressed, or unnamed.
A portion of the seeping water is collected and will be handed over to theMayor of Linz. This symbolic gesture serves as a contribution to theculture of remembrance and points to the responsibility of publicinstitutions to confront the concealed layers of their own history.
“Infused” is a reductive, site-specific work that does not depict memory,but renders it tangible as a process.

12. OvulithenLeonie Brunner2025Installation, ceramic, sand, alum-crystals

The Limonistollen in Linz, egg-shaped objects were discovered, deeplyembedded in the rock. Over time, they became dislodged from unstablecave ceilings made of sandstone and sand.The finds range from 10 to 30 centimetres in size and are covered with alayer of crystals. Structures and patterns on their surfaces give theimpression that they were deliberately shaped.Whether these are rare geological formations or relics of an unknownculture remains unclear.

13. Echo des Styx (Echo of the Styx)Lisa Maier2025Metal, water, coins, clay, Sikaflex, loudspeaker, sound recording from theAcheron River (GR)

Is your obolus ready?Will one coin be enough?Where is Charon, the ferryman?Will he know your face?Do you pay before the crossing –or after you’re already drifting?Can the boat still bear your weight?Why does memory seep into the water?Is the gurgling a call –or just the river’s echo,whispering Styx?

14. Empty little shelfLouisa Roubik2025Ceramic

15. Stop/BoundaryLouisa Roubik2025Plaster

We decided that there is no way through here.

16. Absperrung/BoundaryLouisa Roubik2025Plaster

Please respect this boundary, it is for your own safety. Thank you verymuch.

17. Untitled (Sanding)Magdalena Berger2025Sandpaper, motor, metal construction

Sandpaper glides slowly over the surface—a continuous motion thatremoves a thin layer with each touch. The mechanical process becomes atactile encounter with the historical substance of the place. It does notreveal the traces of the past but refers to the history of the place throughthe conscious act of removal and exposure.

18. The KuckuckMani Ramhormozihoseinizadeh2025Sound installation

Kuckuck, Kuckuck, ruft’s aus dem Wald.What is the history?A paper? A sound? Or a memory in our mind?

19. Disposable CareMaria Nalbantova2025Porcelain

White towels, ever-present in hotels, spas, and gyms, embody hygieneand trust, offering a quiet promise of care through their whiteness anddaily renewal. Meant to disappear, they are part of the invisible hand oflabor and service that sustains comfort.
Made of porcelain, these towels preserve the trace of a body, holding afrozen memory of disposable care.

20. Intraterrestrial LoopNadja Schütz2025Ceramic

Finding organic structures which remind us of otherworldly dreams. Inconnection to the natural limestone-structures, explored in the deep endsof the tunnel. Formed to infinity.

21. A Striking ForceMelanie Winter2025Chalk

The highlighted pickaxe marks shall remind us that the tunnels we arewalking through exist because of suffering and effort. It’s an act ofremembrance—not just of the space, but of the people whose labor madeeverything possible.

22. UntitledNuutti Maikola2025Various materials

“Untitled” observes heterogeneous elements by deconstructing andreshaping objects and forms, suggesting ambiguous acts of serving whileconfronting familiarity and futility.

23. The desolation of a memoryVictoria Ettl2025Photographs, Wax

Frozen in eternal silence, in everlasting mourning for things long forgotten.Grey skin slowly sinks into the overgrown green, until it vanishescompletely.Faces, once beautiful, now weathered and decayed by endless tears.Bodies crumble, fade away, their cries lost in the silence of oblivion.
Memories slowly fade from the mind of the world.

24. MaßnahmeWendelin Pober2025Plastikball, Keramik

The era of National Socialism often appears as a closed chapter of history.Yet the transgenerational trauma that began even before the SecondWorld War continues to resonate in our present.
Maßnahme addresses the immeasurable scale of the injusticescommitted. The two spherical forms point to the suppressed volume ofhistory—as well as to the physical volume of the Limonistollen, a tunneldug by concentration camp prisoners through forced labor.
The sculpture invites reflection on a past that has inscribed itselfdeeply into bodies, spaces, and memory.

25. ULTRAVIOLET™Yao Wang2025Defective solarium unit, LED, mixed media

ULTRAVIOLET™ is a former commercial tanning bed installed in a lightlessenvironment. Once designed to emit artificial UV rays for cosmetic tanningand vitamin D synthesis, the device now lays dormant, much like thespace it inhabits.

26. A Skin of MemoryYounggon Kim2025Emergency Blankets, Wire

“A Skin of Memory” is a site-specific installation that uses emergencyblankets to form a narrow passageway. It invites visitors to move through aspace shaped by memory, offering a physical experience of theinstallation. The shimmering, fragile material evokes the vulnerability ofthose who once sought refuge there, transforming collective memory intoa visual and experiential representation. As visitors navigate theinstallation, they are encouraged to reflect on the trauma of war and theenduring significance of peace.

27. ghost productiongoujirou2025bleached human hair

one of three.half-absent, still there.what remains after care is extracted, filtered, and made neutral.no additives, no hidden structure — just presence thinned out to a whisper.it holds form like memory holds gesture.you could clean your hands in it, but they’d come out raw.
----------
this new series extends the original prototype-keratin–xt095438717520_v0- by exploring what remains whenproduction moves beyond function and body.these objects are “ghosts” of production: ethereal residues, bleached andabstracted, removed from their corporeal origin but still charged withpresence.they embody the uncanny space between materiality and absence, thetrace of manufacture lingering after the form dissolves. in this way, theproject probes the tension between replication, transformation, andautonomy - where the replicant no longer mimics but asserts its ownidentity.

The two works listed below will be exhibited in the main atelier of Sculptural Conceptions/Ceramics at Domgasse.

28. Untitled (How does it feel)Christopher Rusche-Schall2025Video, VR Headset, Sound
In the work Untitled (How does it feel) the Limonistollen was traversed andcinematographically documented using a 360° camera. With the help of aVR headset, visitors can now experience this passage themselves—notfrontally or linearly, but in a surrounding way, with a view in all directions.
Similar to a ride on rails, it is not possible for viewers to choose their ownpath. Contrary to their own control, they are guided through the tunnelsystem.
One of the ideas for the installation was to reveal personal thoughts andfears through interacting and responding to the surroundings. The videoinvites individuals to do the same.
