still (a little life)

Throughout the exhibition, these works scatter small fragments of time, glimpses of life, whether paused, suspended, captured in a single moment, or observed closely. Within this stillness, which leaves space for everything that could happen, this little life remains. 

Artists: Neven Allgeier, Judith Eisler, Pakui Hardware 
curated by: Barbara Horvath

Judith Eisler pauses the cinematic moment itself. She holds single frames still to paint what trembles inside them: a nocturnal walk in falling snow, Maria glancing backward as the car moves forward beneath a canopy of trees, John making coffee, an intimate gesture fractured by distortions of light and pattern. In these images, the figures hover between past and present. 

Neven Allgeier’s photographs capture light as something tender and fleeting. Faces, flowers, surfaces, and architectures glow softly, as if viewed through thin plastic lenses that filter the world into gentler tones. The air feels saturated with quiet, stripped of the noise of daily life. 

In contrast, Pakui Hardware’s The Host enforces a colder, more controlled intimacy. Operating tables, mechanical arms, and glass lenses transform the host body into a vessel optimized for labor and experiment. Telemedicine and robotic surgery create closeness without touch, authority without compassion. It’s a post-organic form of care that is as precise as it is detached.
