Veronika Lesniak, Ralf Petersen & Laura Wegscheider
Flying Dutchwoman


Projection-Installation
Space in between houses and Waterchamber
On view throughout




Projections, projections, fresh projections! Armed with salt water and ghost stories, the Flying Dutchwoman haunts the space between the houses, where she can also be visited through two windows and via ladders. Lesniak, Petersen & Wegscheider begin their story with confusion: Who is projecting? Where are the projections located? Even in retrospect, it is difficult to say with certainty which journey of the Flying Dutchwoman this installation is actually about.


The Flying Dutchwoman is an interstitial performance that calls for active engagement, but also provokes passive involvement.

Veronika Lesniak chaotically chooses the right paths; if she hadn't gone to Linz after her apprenticeship as a watchmaker, she might have gone to Aschau in Burgenland to continue her studies.
Today she floats between many analog media and works absentmindedly on everything that seems possible to her.

Ralf Petersen is interested in tactile things, assembles and cuts up analog film, tapes or GDR mopeds.

Laura Wegscheider has no A-levels, comes from a working-class family and grew up in a small village in the low mountain range. She enjoys working with old materials, whether on the building site or in the film lab.
