Place your hand on the table, spread your fingers, take a knife, and stab — as fast as you can — into the gaps between them.

No risk, no fun. In his multimedia exhibition at Bildraum 01, Michael Heindl opens up a space for action in which the meaning of objects can be reinterpreted as part of economic, social, and symbolic processes.

Knife Game with the Invisible Hand presents three recent series of works that engage with the destructive consequences of the capitalist system. Heindl shows the remnants of these excesses, yet consciously chooses to move beyond mere documentation.

Rather than resigning himself to devastation, the artist seeks to establish a new point of departure through his works by deconstructing the collected fragments and reassembling them anew. Old orders are dismantled to make room for something new.
