How do you exhibit a performance? Mahtola Wittmer has found a poetic solution to this genre-specific challenge. For her work "Conditions", she hangs three tops on inconspicuous metal hangers on the museum wall. The garments are unusual, with overlong or sewn-together sleeves, or a sleeve that has grown into a heavy-looking lump. The garments are activated by unannounced performances and stand for human states of mind: closedness, melancholy, insecurity, inertia. The subtle intervention surprises the audience, questions what art can trigger and how we read forms and objects as carriers of emotions. - Press release, Lucerne Art Museum
