"Slant"
For her first institutional solo exhibition in Germany, LIESL RAFF (*1979 in Stuttgart; lives and works in Vienna) () transforms Villa Salve Hospes into an expansive installation occupying the entire ground floor.
Working with natural rubber, light and architectural intervention, she turns the villa into a sequence of navigable situations where perception, movement and atmosphere are constantly reconfigured. Latex functions as both surface and structure, shifting between painterly and sculptural qualities.
Sensitive to light, air and temperature, the material remains in flux throughout the exhibition, producing a changing visual environment.
Rather than illustrating space, Raff actively reworks it: axes are interrupted, sightlines filtered and architectural order subtly displaced.
"Slant" becomes a choreographed shift in spatial perception, where material, body and architecture remain in continuous negotiation.
We look forward to welcoming you to the opening on June 26 at 7 pm. Stay tuned for more information about the exhibition.
