In their works, the two graduates of the Düsseldorf Art Academy move in different ways between fact and fiction, mythology and science.
Her art allows us to recognise spaces that are an in-between - and both go back centuries in some cases. Enya Burger uses massive metal constructions reminiscent of a laboratory to investigate both the growth of slime mould and the myth of its origin in the 16th century. In fact, she uses a slime mould as her central artistic medium. This organism, which forms complex networks, illustrates the interplay between natural and digital systems as well as concepts such as intelligence and adaptability. Teresa Linhard creates delicate textile documentations as a result of her intensive, almost archaeological studies of textiles and prints from around the world. She uses them to examine cultural and political messages and to analyse historical events. But ideas and adaptations that have developed over generations also appear in the embroideries, which have subsequently influenced our image of "foreign" countries.
