The Bird Woman vs the Acephali of the man
The new art project of Alexandra Bolzer is a
profound cooperation with the carinthian philosopher Peter Goricnik. Goricnik's work delves into the works of surrealist
philosophers like Georges Bataille, who's theorie of modernity created the
legendary man without a head.
This man without a head is a symbol of the
non-sovereignty of the sanity. He explains this Acephali i. a. with the
exceptinal theory: The Age of Enlightenment must enlighten
itself.
Goricnik's moving antithesis for this is the
libidinous bird woman as a model of society in accordance with the egalitarian
principle connected to matriarchy. The Pigeon symbolizes the spirit and the
beauty of the goddess of wisdom: Sophia.
Bolzer explores this thesis with her profound,
contemporary visual language that was specifically designed for this purpose. Her
result will be a new series of works as a result of this research and
exploration.
