The English word “rest” refers in German to what is left. In the exhibition “REST” the three artists use temporary situations in their special living spaces as an opportunity for their work. From the seemingly irrelevant, overlooked aspects of their personal environment, they each develop their own visual language in which the traces of change and transition are discussed.
On the one hand, testamentary relics from other times are transferred to new contexts, and on the other hand, temporal processes themselves become the focus of attention.
The resulting „habitats“ are fragile intermediate stages whose vulnerability comes from a fluid reality and whose existence only represents a pause between the before and the after.

Nuria Fuster’s installations create fragile balances from found, unmanipulated architectural relics through targeted interventions. Her photographs explore physical and chemical transformations through the confrontation of various elements.

Tom Früchtl’s pictures create traces of use and decay in complex compositions using the classic means of painting. His objects also simulate similar processes and thereby create a new artificial reality.

Peter Scior’s images address tents as an archetype of human habitat and as a stage of transition.  As a fragile and provisional architecture of a “second skin”, they focus on the lighting situation, which is the actual subject of his paintings.
