DECEPTION AND MEMORY
Deception and memory. These are the two central themes that Leonora Prugger explores in her new body of work. But the two do not stand apart; they permeate each other in the paintings and installations. Deception and memory are closely intertwined. It is about deception in nature – exemplified by a particular genus from the orchid family, the bee orchids (Ophrys). And about the deception of memory, which blurs over the years, takes its own paths – until the deception becomes truth. This especially concerns events that lie far in the past. Thus, in the exhibition Leonora Prugger repeatedly alludes to things and experiences from her own childhood in her native South Tyrol. This blurring and layering is also reflected in the title in quiet, unseen hours. It refers to moments such as the phase just before falling asleep. We are no longer fully awake, slipping across. Reality and dream begin to blur, deceiving us.
