Opening PART TWO

The exhibition SIRA-ZOÉ SCHMID - THE CONCURRENT PRESENCE shows the artist’s latest performance “Desert Flower” in two acts.

The second act shows a photograph, shot by visual artist Markus Oberndorfer during the performance. Freezing an impalpable, very wide and open emotional state of mind, it literately breaks down Sira-Zoé Schmid’s performance to its basic essence. “With a clear and poetic visual language, “Desert Flower” is a universal exploration into loss and ephemerality and the various mechanisms of coping with these sensations” (Sophie Haslinger).
