"Fascinating photos of exciting women"-Stern
"A charming look behind the curtain"-Art Magazin
Xenia Hausner presents photographs as works in progress in this report on her artistic process. Photographs have previously been an interim step and means to an end for her, providing the subject matter and model for later paintings. Now the photographs themselves have become a constitutive element of her work; the "photo models" have been emancipated through her hand, so to speak, and compromise the starting point for further ventures. The original materials and their extensions are a kind of intimate diary of the mutual exploration of reality and the artistic experience.
