Curatorial context
The exhibition 'JULIANA HERRERO: ONE OF A KIND' at the Bezirksmuseum Brigittenau features an installation composed of oversized butterflies from the 'PlanetAzul' series, crafted from recycled juice and milk cartons. These abstract organic sculptures, some left natural and others blue-lacquered, are displayed alongside a dynamic terrarium landscape made from lacquered kiwi shells that evolves over time. The work draws parallels to Kafka's concept of metamorphosis and serves as a metaphor for contemporary climate change. Complementing the visual elements is an immersive soundscape, a fusion composition of natural acoustic backgrounds, field recordings, strings, and voice, creating a micro-cosmos that envelops the space. Engraved glass plates add a layer of interpretation, capturing silhouettes that act as a transparent dissection or blueprint of the sounds and visuals within the exhibition.
The exhibition opens on August 1, 2024, with a happening for peace celebrating the harvest season and continues until the end of September 2024. Additional solo performative scenes are scheduled for August 14 and September 2, with a finissage on September 28, 2024.
