EXHIBITION SYNOPSIS
About Aurora Reinhard - High RiderAurora Reinhard, a resident of Helsinki, proceeds from the idea that the way we think about men and women in our society, and about gender and sexuality, are constructions and discourses that have developed throughout history. In her photographic works, sculptures and videos, she questions in particular the external image and self-image of women in the media and in the world of consumption. However, in her work she also examines the tension between the sexes as a part of our cultural and intellectual history, which goes back much farther than the current debates. This approach, which is rightfully designated a feminist one, manifests itself again and again in disconcertingly beautiful works that challenge the senses and the understanding of the onlooker in equal measure. They range from in some cases disturbing and provoking photographic works to sculptures and videos in which the boundaries, tensions, but also the transitions between the sexes are looked at in a differentiated way, critically and at the same time with great compassion.
For her exhibition, the artist developed several works allowing herself to be inspired in the process by pictures from the abundance of images that exist in the collective visual memory of the Occident. Some reach far back to ancient times, such as the double motif of mother and child. But the figure of Saint Sebastian, suffering the terrible fate of being shot with arrows, is also there. In this case, however, the Christian martyr changes sex to become a tied-up Andromeda riddled with arrows.
The motif of the severed head also belongs to this canon of images, depicting the idea that a person literally does lose his head at the end of a tragic conflict, is de-capitated. The traditional ones we know of range from Medusa to Goliath, Holofernes and John the Baptist, right up to the pirate Störtebecker and the countless people beheaded during the French Revolution. Severance of the head from the body has existed as a martial symbol in our cultural memory for thousands of years. Besides the context of Medusa’s head, this photographic works also reminds us of the head of John the Baptist presented on a plate, just like the impressive painting by Lucas Cranach from about 500 years ago. This is therefore not about in some way affirming eternally valid archai that never change in their form and meaning. Instead, Aurora Reinhard makes it obvious in all of her visual adaptations that the supposedly primal images have all developed historically and have ultimately shown themselves to be symbols that are modifiable and reinterpretable, capable of new contextualization and meanings.
As such, Madonna with Child not only picks up on a pictorial tradition that predates both Christianity and Judaism, but also proves – in this adaptation – to be a highly peculiar figure, brought into the modern age and given a fetishistic quality in a way that is quite disturbing. The figure dressed in a latex mask with wig, wearing a red fishnet shirt and blue overgarment, presents itself as a sexualized rubber figure with firm breasts and a correspondingly artificial-looking baby. The impression that, what we have here might be an embodiment in the tradition of Isis, Demeter, Cybele or Maria, the Mother of God is taken to the extremes and ab absurdum by the sense of alienation. And the real, somewhat distressed pupils looking out of the eyeholes in the latex face make it clear that, behind this mask-like fetish mantle there is a real, alive human being, which only intensifies the contradiction all the more. Aurora Reinhard expresses in concrete terms and radicalizes here a once hieratic image handed down over the millennia with the help of disconcerting paraphernalia, some of which was acquired in sex shops, to turn it into an alarming and equally fascinating substitute image of our times.
The desire to be another, to slip into the skin of another person, or even into the latex facade of the other sex are just as manifest in this photographic work as the awareness of the futility of so presumptuously forging an identity by using a fetishist surrogate, as it were. Aurora Reinhard’s works are not to be understood as proposals or recipes for real processes of finding oneself, but are above all to be grasped as deeply disturbing and also insightful images. It is all about understanding the difference between the sexes as a social construct and about being aware of the cultural preconditioning of that which we call identity, sex and gender. All of this does not present itself here as an anticipated solution to all conflicts, but as their most radical disposition in visual form.
In High Rider, Aurora Reinhard combines a pair of scissors with a pair of women’s legs spread open like scissor blades. By doing so, she creates an intense mental image - one that is perhaps even slightly reminiscent of one of Max Ernst’s frescoes – in which sexual desire and the sense of seduction emanating from the female body comes together with the (assumed male) fear of being castrated. The connection between Sigmund Freud’s discovery of the subconscious, and ultimately the influence of dreams and the subconscious on the Surrealists, can be seen clearly once again in this small golden figure. After all, the essay by the discoverer of psychanalysis on Medusa’s Head and Freud’s description of the fear of castration contributed towards controversial debates. Freud came up on the one hand with the fear-filled notion of a vagina dentata when writing about male desire, which could certainly be derived from the figurative notion of a fanged Gorgon-Medusa. On the other hand, he described this archaic female figure as herself castrated, because (after she loses her head to Perseus) he interprets the gaping neck-wound just as figuratively as a bleeding vagina. However, in this case he perhaps went a little too far: Medusa is not in fact castrated (potentially with penis envy), but a castrator! She stands for the fascination and the joining of Eros and Thanatos, passion and pain. And for the symbolic idea of a powerful archaic female figure that embodies these contrasting elements without cancelling them out in harmony.
Together with these works, which were exhibited in the Kunstverein Ruhr as part of a solo show, the show will be presenting no less controversial works owned by the artist and the Miettinen Collection.
These include Flowers, a pile of long, stocking-like gloves in all imaginable skin shades. Long, claw-like and varnished fingernails have been added and they are very like a perfect second layer of skin that can be changed at any time. However, at the same time, they are also like relicts of skin that has been flayed in an extremely painful process. When Aurora Reinhard examines in her special way how femininity is represented, this always goes hand in hand with an in-depth look at cultural and intellectual history, is without compromise, and also tinged with a good portion of humor. In her photographs, sculptures and videos, what she ultimately achieves are not effigies or cheap illustrations of contexts we have long been familiar with, they are rather impressive symbols that astonish and shock, but also stimulate interconnections as well as completely new ideas and realizations.
