press release
In her first solo exhibition at Konrad Fischer Galerie titled "Zwischenstände" (Intermediate Results), Louisa Clement introduces conceptual works, videos and objects dealing with the fragility of a, however, presumed or determined status quo as well as with the provisional nature of forms and configurations, and the conscious and unconscious ways of communication.
The gallery walls are partly covered with smartphone glitches - abstract geometric patterns resulting from information overload. Louisa Clement's "Mirrors" reproduce highly reflecting surfaces from sunglasses which do not allow any visual communication besides the own mirror image. In the same way, her video works "not lost in you" are discussing topics like contact, distance and close proximity: the artificial body of a fibre glass puppet is touched by gloved fingers in super slow motion. The fabric hinders a direct contact and even the almost erotic interaction causes just cool distance.
