Graphische Sammlung Albertina Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

Xenia Hausner is one of the most important Austrian painters of our time. This richly illustrated volume focuses on the aspect of staging that characterizes all her works. Beginning with her early pieces from the 1990s and culminating in the poignant Exiles series, the book transports readers into a feminine world filled with mysterious relationships. Hausner's painting is rooted in photography; the artist constructs spatial settings in her studio and captures a moment akin to a film still. Translated into painting, her images create a dramatic tension, suggesting that what is shown must lead to the next image to reveal its mysteries. Through the staged elements in her works—the painted captured lie—we encounter the contradictions of our existence and find an alternative to a male-dominated visual language.
