Cement in the brain

Feichter performs in the StadtGalerie Brixen, where visitors are initially greeted by a carpet of fog. A walk through the gallery reveals high towers here and there, protruding through the blanket of fog. Gradually, sculptures moulded from various materials appear. They are reminiscent of organic structures or architecture and landscapes from a bird's eye view. But just when visitors think they can make out something familiar in the swathes of fog, the next cloud of grey-white water droplets appears and makes everything disappear into obscurity again - like a memory that fades away. The installation and performance artist Fabian Feichter, who is also active as a musician, is showing his exhibition at the StadtGalerie as part of the Water Light Festival. In his works, he repeatedly explores the theme of water and its different aggregate states: a glacier in the form of a kebab skewer, artificial ice in a hotel room, a snow substitute from a popcorn machine or as three-dimensional moulds of various lakes. The exhibition also includes a video work by the artist Youlee Ku with sound by Fabian Feichter.
