Doom-scrolling, Negativ Bias und soziale Folgen
I am very excited to participate in DOOM TIME, doom-scrolling, negative bias and social impacts – an immersive, dark-dystopian group exhibition that creates a deliberately off-putting space and hits you with sensory overload. It stirs up fear, exhaustion, and unease – just like the emotional burnout from endless negative news and doom-scrolling on social media.
I present a site specific photographic installation from the series "Figure for the Base of a Crucifixion" with the works „R U on IG ?“ (2023), „TikTok“ (2025), „Tradwife“ (2026), and „The Matrix“ (2026). I use emojis and excerpts from sexting text messages, TikTok videos, and REELS, as well as quotes from influencers, which I print out and then stick onto my body to transfer them from the digital to the physical realm. My body acts as a projection surface for practices from the virtual world and makes pervasive language visible. This deliberately deepens the contrast between the colorful emojis, intrusive texts, and the female body, which is nothing more than an advertising space. The photographic works show front and back views, thus becoming photographic sculptures that “stand in the way”. You have to walk around them—they are deliberately discomforting.
