Annegret Bleisteiner Homeland
Homeland presents various ways of approaching the concept of home. How private must home be? Does "taking it public" make a mockery of this emotion? Or is there indeed something like a collective, world-wide feeling of home? What significance does this concept have in our globalized world, where it seems everybody has the possibility to live anywhere and feel at home there? Does the feeling originate in us, or is it dictated by our environment? We are constantly exposed to a variety of stimuli: acoustic, visual, haptic, and emotional. Living with this is not easy. It is easier to avoid dealing with it all, to seemingly protect our inner life by closing ourselves off and ignoring our feelings. Annegret Bleisteiner breaks down this protective mechanism and enables us through her works to let go again, to trust our eyes to see beneath the surface of things. (Anna Wondrak)
