A return to the village where she grew up after an absence of over ten years marks the point of departure for this video work, which Vika Kirchenbauer produced for the occasion of the her first institutional solo exhibition. A collage of ephemera both personal and public traverses the distance between present and past in a self-reflexive form of artistic critique that considers contemporary art from a perspective of class. Through voiceover and flashes of imagery Kirchenbauer’s autobiographical video contemplates the sociological dimensions of negative affect, and what forms of political agency such emotions facilitate or impede.
