Anatomy of the Hole: A Queer Dialogue
Leander von Thien, András Tibor Vizi
27 June 2025 19:00 – 29 June 2025 19:00
The exhibition explores the hole as a physical, symbolic, and social motif.
Through two works by András Vizi and Leander von Thien, the hole emerges as a space where intimacy, desire, shame, and vulnerability intersect with the scars of violence, war, revolution, and the erasure of queer lives. It is both a site of personal encounter and a threshold—between presence and absence, visibility and invisibility—where bodies and histories leave their mark.
In dialogue, the works present the hole not only as a spatial void but as a complex metaphor that evokes corporeality and longing while opening onto collective memory shaped by repression and resistance. They reflect how queer bodies and spaces are inscribed with overlapping histories of trauma, survival, and desire.
The exhibition asks how bodies, norms, and spatial structures shape what we remember, what we see, and what is concealed. In the tension between exposure and erasure, it invites viewers to engage in reflection, dialogue, and the ongoing search for queer liberation.
The opening will feature a special performance by Ivana Wonder.
