” presents a collection of films operating through dream logic and nightmare structures, populated by her characteristic figures shaped not by fantasy alone, but by institutional power, social conditioning, and the violence of normalization.

The works explore how institutions construct the “good girl,” the “good citizen,” the ideal subject: bodies trained to comply, identities shaped through discipline, submission, and endless self-correction. Perfection becomes a form of obedience. Improvement becomes control. The desire to belong, to fit in, to be accepted, to be legible, demands a continuous reshaping of the self, a constant performance of becoming better.

The exhibition extends this logic spatially through the use of construction mesh, a material usually employed to create façades, barriers, and temporary structures. Wrapped around the outside while maintenance work is being done on the inside, it becomes a surface of control, a skin, a membrane, a structure through which the body is disciplined and remade.

Flesh and architecture collapse into one another. The visitor moves through something both protective and oppressive, both shelter and trap. What begins as discipline becomes appetite. And inside the beast, we feast.



’s work explores how violence and social hierarchies shape everyday life. Using dark humor, she stages fragile, absurd situations in which characters struggle to navigate contemporary systems and their impossible demands. Storytelling is central to her practice, which often unfolds through participatory processes and collaborative encounters.



For the opening, we invite you to join a special DIY hobby horse-making workshop, starting at 14:00, followed by a barrier parcours “competition” from 15:30 onwards. The program is hosted together with artist Toni Brenner. 
There will be a rosette for the winner, cake for the birthday girl and eggs for everyone interested.

Every Monday night we summon all vampires, mutants, swamp creatures, radioactive nightmares, gothic specters, and all the beautiful horrors that crawled out of the golden age of monster movies.

Before the screening begins, we enter a one-minute meditation guided by the sacred mantra of 

 to properly align mind, body and monster spirit. Then the lights go down.
