HYPERVOID – Laboratory Body of the Present
What if the present is no longer the present, but a state of matter? What if material is no longer just substance, but the carrier of a consciousness – a consciousness in permanent drift? With HYPERVOID, Robert Lanz locates a state beyond linear concepts of time, beyond traditional notions of the body. The laboratory body of the present is a conceptual body, a fluid interface between molecular reality and speculative projection.
A conceptual pulse permeates the exhibition – Lanz's artistic practice operates between controlled reaction and controlled loss of control. Metallic pigments, thermodynamic processes, oscillating textures: The image supports are not supports in the classical sense, but experimental fields, resonant spaces for an aesthetic of the unknown. Nothing is represented here; something is happening here.
Lanz's works materialize the paradox of the contemporary – a now that has already been sedimented, a body that is simultaneously subject, medium, and storage unit. The pictorial spaces open up a micro-scenario of dissolution: organic, cybernetic, post-iconic. They are traces of states, not images. Atmospheres, not narratives.
HYPERVOID is neither retrospective nor utopian. It is an attempt to outline an artistic methodology that understands the present as an open system – fragile, fleeting, permeated by forces that elude direct perception. Lanz doesn't ask questions. He constructs conditions under which questions lose their form – and transform into states.

Biography
Robert Lanz, David Wolf & Ellie Schwarz
Robert Lanz, David Wolf, and Ellie Schwarz navigate border zones between physical presence and digital gesture, between fragment and continuum. Objects and processes dissolve, states remain unstable, newly generated forms resist fixation. Their works are not finished products but transitional stages, thought figures, performative traces of an undefined future.
