parallel vienna 2025

The art fair took place from 10 to 14 September 2025 at Otto-Wagner-Areal, Pavilion 16, Baumgartner Höhe 1, 1140 Vienna. This year, I exhibited for the second time as part of the artist collective Black Ferk Studio.

 

The artist collective Black Ferk Studio (founded by Matthias Mollner and Judith Schoßbock († 2024)) explores systems that have fallen out of balance in its projects and engages with topics such as chronic illness, vulnerability, social community, and the body.

The studio collaborates, among others, with artists affected by severe multisystemic diseases such as ME/CFS. Through its exhibitions and actions, it highlights both the bright and dark sides of reality, revealing what is often hidden or ignored.

As part of the Parallel Exhibition 2025, the collective presents four artists who, through objects, images, and photographs, address the fragile connections between humans, the environment, and nature, as well as the vulnerability of the human body.

 

30% of the collective’s proceeds were donated to ME/CFS research organisations or NGOs.

My works shown at the fair, part of the series Repeat, reflect on medication use and addiction within the context of a society of serial production. Referencing Warhol’s principle of repetition and engaging with forms of appropriation art, they draw on visual languages of modernism as well as pop-cultural phenomena to critically expose the dynamics of consumption and dependency.
