Home Invasion: Retreat (2019), Elza Ozolīte & Killian Butler
BarK Gallery, Köthener Str. 28, 10963 Berlin, Germany
"For Home Invasion: Retreat Elza Ozolīte and Killian Butler will be invading the off-space with a multimedia life collage offering glimpses into visualized and yet deformed knowledge of self-care. Using a fragmented rhetoric of ritualized practices, Butler and Ozolīte make visible the vexed entanglements of 21st century wellness. Framing the performativity of self care their aesthetic-strategy can be traced back to the virtual world. Home Invasion: Retreat creates a fluid, malleable situation that enables a liminoid experience between Retreat and the Grotesque." - excerpt from press release by Nathalie Okpu and Mona Schwager
