Teatro: these are the boards that mean all the world. It is about the eternal game between illusion and reality. Actors show a great deal—but are they also showing themselves? Peter Friedl’s current work survey inquires into the many facets of identity. What do we learn about the refugees in the video Report, when they recite Kafka in their native languages? What do the marionettes tell us about historical figures in the Teatro Popular, ready to come back to life? What do architectural models of Heidegger’s or Ho Chi Minh’s homes, slave quarters in Louisiana, or current refugee accommodations teach us about their special spheres of thought and life? Friedl’s works refuse to provide mundane answers; we are fascinated by the eloquent silence they use to point out the secrets that are essential to all of them.
The works of PETER FRIEDL (*1960 Oberneukirchen, Austria) have been seen in many solo shows, including exhibitions at MACBA, Barcelona, and the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris. He has exhibited at the documenta, and in 1999 he designed the Austrian Pavilion at the Biennale di Venezia.
