The artist’s book “Secession” that Sophie Thun has designed in connection with the exhibition adds to this appeal to the viewer to understand artistic practice through a production-aesthetic lens rather than focus on the finished work alone. Dozens of test strips, a byproduct of her labor in the darkroom, and a notebook containing technical information document the tentative character of her process, giving the viewer a sense of how she arrives at creative decisions—while also bearing witness to the all-important question: How to begin …?
Publication available at @viennasecession shop or though the gallery!

Sophie Thun contributed to MURDERKINO, a film project overseen @valis79 . Tonight at 7pm @kwinstitutefcontemporaryart is screening the first four episodes of MURDERKINO online as part of their programme around Kris Lemsalu Malone’s exhibition. the full movie will be available for 24 hrs.
"MUDERKINO (2019- ) is a „no budget“ art/trash/horror film project. Upon completion, it will consist of twelve segments, a grotesque revue that tells a Viennese story of deparvity, excess, and murder. While Scott is responsible for the project, it’s realisation has only been possible through the participation of the many artists who have volunteered their time and effort. With each segment, a variety of different talents and materials are gathered - for everything from performance to camera, props to set design, music to makeup - to culminate in a piece that is „trash“ in both aesthetic and content. Playing with horror film tropes through story, performance, and camera, MURDERKINO serves as an evolution of the art-trash film, a Gesamtkunstwerk par grotesque.“

You stop. Finally arrived, or have you? You've travelled a long time.
You haven't been here before, you are sure. Still something is familiar. Same but different.
Wasn't that the song you just heard? A beeping sound, short confusion.
Now you remember why you're here. Your body feels heavy. Dizziness. Lagging behind.
But don’t worry. You'll get assistance. Things have to be maintained. Keep on going.
That's what these places are for. Right? You feel relieved. At least a bit.
The reassurance of a too familiar ritual. Convenience is king. You get out of your metal cage.
Its space so familiar. Your dread and desire. You wander around. Or rather - you're drawn in.
Inhaling the place. Blissful exhaustion. The feeling reminds you of that one holiday.
There was a lot of rubble. Objects from the past, all laid out before you.
You liked it somehow, but still don't know why.
Places like this seem to protect something. Like a ruin keeping its secret.
But there is none. You know this. All this stuff you forgot about. Like everyone.
It's OK. Even reassuring. You close the door. The radio is on.
