In her work, Lisa Großkopf takes aim at the striving for perfection. She highlights a troubling worldview: one that ascribes responsibility for life’s happiness primarily to the individual, while largely ignoring essential variables such as structural inequalities and social disadvantages. Großkopf confronts the neoliberal ideal—where health, beauty, and contentment are viewed as things to be maximized solely through diligence and discipline—with the reality of hyper-capitalist societies.

At the intersection of literature and visual arts, Sarah Rinderer focuses on dealing with language itself, its pauses, gaps and in-between-spaces. By making seemingly silent punctuation marks audible together with voice performers or by sending a message into the past through semaphore gestures, she explores the conditions that make communication possible – across spatial and temporal distances, different sign systems, codes and beyond words.
