Barbara Breitenfellner, 1 exhibition in 1 big museum. It wasn’t clear where I was supposed to show my work (what was my work anyway?). In 1 large space: the oil paintings were all hanging high up on the walls. The floor of the museum was covered in 1 psychedelic zigzag carpet. On the carpet stood a fat sports car like a plump bronze sculpture, 2011, install shot, Confort Moderne, Poitiers, September 29 – December 19, 2011, © Photo: Guillaume Chiron. Courtesy of the artist

Barbara Breitenfellner, Beuys was giving a several-days-long performance in 1 room. Someone else (?) stepped on 1 lying gorilla with 1 fur lying on a platform: it was a frame that was moving upwards. At the end Beuys jumped down like a winner in a circus, 2011, install shot, Confort Moderne, Poitiers, September 29 – December 19, 2011, © Photo: Jean-Michel Rousseau. Courtesy of the artist

Barbara Breitenfellner, I have an exhibition with a class photo from my primary school days. I am in the picture twice. Still hanging on the walls are the works from the last exhibition (this is part of my concept). Green geometric-abstract prints. In the room tables with installations made of different materials. At 1/2 past 3 there is 1 reception. Someone tells me it’s important to be there to shake Jan Hoet’s hand. I do want to put on 1 special outfit in the colors of my installation. Therefore one has to moisten small bright adhesive pads + apply them to the skin. Once well rubbed in, the color of the face changes, 2015, Clemens Sels Museum Neuss, July 2015, © Photo: Thomas Bruns. Courtesy of the artist

Barbara Breitenfellner, The works still have to be defined in their materiality (collage? photography? painting?). Everything is tripled. Not yet quite clear how the works are to be transferred from the virtual to the real, especially with regard to glitch and authorship. – Then a film. A snowy landscape. We walk through the snow (-storm). A girl lies down with her braid going into her back (it is digitally transformed). Then the back falls apart digitally. A liquid (blood) runs from a table and somebody else drinks it. It transforms through the body into a (liquid) drug, 2019, Centre Photographique d’Île-de-France, Pontault-Combault, May 2 – July 13, 2019, © Photo: Aurélien Mole. Courtesy of the artist
