BURN-IN and Traxler-Pilgram
at paper positions vienna 2025
The BURN-IN team is particularly pleased to present Petra Traxler-Pilgram at the second Paper Positions Vienna 2025 - with sixteen powerful works on paper that combine language, attitude and social responsibility.
The collages are condensed landscapes of thought - between the inner world and society, introspection and plain language. They challenge us to look closely, think and feel. Petra Traxler-Pilgram has an unmistakable feel for the balance between seriousness and lightness, between serenity and tenderness - and this is precisely what makes her art so relevant in a time that is searching for orientation.
The five work cycles Soul Spaces, Shadow Worlds, Existential Paths, Whispers of Nature and Microcosm of Everyday Life are at the center of her work. Each cycle unfolds its own field of tension between inwardness and social observation. Fragile balances are created between intuitive gestures and conscious composition - layers of paper, text and emotion that encourage reflection and make the invisible visible. "For me, art is a means of directly addressing social injustices," says Petra Traxler-Pilgram. Her works speak in typographic fragments, speech bubbles and empty spaces that have a strong appeal and activate the mind. It is not about unambiguity, but about seeing that generates thinking - about visual dialogues that evoke responsibility and awareness.
