Hyper-feminine goddesses frolic in CGI landscapes and dreamlike architectures. In the computer-generated video work of the Irish artist duo Bassam Issa Al-Sabah and Jennifer Mehigan, mega-women monologue poetically, profoundly, and simultaneously trivially about their deepest desires and fantasies. Their almost brutal hyper-femininity refers to a world where "hotness" is synonymous with power – global warming is the logical consequence.
Visually, the two artists draw from pop culture, video games, and mythology. They parallel female bodies and landscapes – a common motif in feminist utopian literature. The Wavehouse as an exhibition venue – a future server farm of Heidelberg iT and the largest 3D-printed building in Europe – surrounds the installation as a sculpture and emphasizes how the digital becomes analog reality.
On Saturday, November 9th at 4:30 PM, curator Lena Reitschuster will introduce the work. Following that, a joint tour through the Wavehouse will take place. The introduction will be in German.
