THU 6 - THU 26 MARCH

Susi Jirkuff’s drawings, animated films and installation at Bildraum 07 explore how the skillful combination of texts, images of fictional rooms, and urban structures can create new layers of meaning. As part of Tricky Women Tricky Realities 2025, she presents her animated film Where I live (2022), based on the eponymous short story by Austrian writer Ilse Aichinger. Much like Aichinger, who as a young woman risked her life to hide her Jewish mother from the horrors of Nazi persecution in Vienna, Jirkuff is interested in how people act, or fail to act, in an increasingly tense social and political environment. Working on Where I live led her to rediscover texts that were essential for finding her own voice. The show at Bildraum 07 includes recent portraits of authors and other important figures that can be seen as a tribute to their literary, poetic, and political world-building.
