Project Space 2
Opening Reception
Tuesday, June 21, 6 - 8pm
Artist Heidrun Holzfeind often shows the circumstances of individuals considered to be social outsiders, like the Romanian immigrants now living in her grandparents’ house in Austria or the homeless man who quit his job to publish a book.
In her most recent film, Exposed, Holzfeind chronicles the life of Katherine Devoir, a 35-year old dancer who suffers from MCS, a chronic environmental illness caused by synthetic chemicals. At times painfully close, the film charts the restricted range of Katherine’s acceptable spaces and social contact and attempts to raise empathy for her suffering.
