ZHARROKTAL
06 03 2026 – 30 04 2026
„I have always taken pleasure in the fact that the Mosai Sinci lexicon contains the remarkable word “Zharroktal.” Precisely because it has no meaning, it became a popular filler in youth slang: a rhetorical gesture used to express the frustration that something cannot be articulated in one’s own language – perhaps because it is too complex, too tangled, too contradictory, or too new. I now read the word in violet letters across the ruins of the city and realize that logic will not carry me any further. My path leads inward, into the shadowed terrain of paraconsistency“
Two years ago, I created a video piece for the Museum Frieder Burda titled Dia In The Garden. It was part of the exhibition ImPossible, curated by Alexander Timtschenko. Alexander, who recently co-curated the award-winning
@ranfels.burg (winner of this year’s Bavarian Art Prize) alongside the great Dr. Stefanie Baumann, is now curating at
@bergson alongside
@janaverda . This is also where my dear friend
@lennartlahuis recently opened his show together with
@olga_golos_ , with whom I studied at the academy. Lennard is now back with new works at
@rettberggallery where we first met during
@variousothersmunich 2024. And this very piece now serves as the opening to a whole new body of work, on view until the end of April at the gallery! While everything feels like a closed circle, it is actually a paradoxical upward spiral that I am excited to witness.
