A meter -high tower made of a ton of coal briquettes protrudes in the foyer of the Power Tower of Energie AG Oberösterreich. The latter awards various art prices, such as the Talent Promotion Prize together with the Kunstuni Linz, who went to Katharina Wimmer in 2024 for her work “Futuro Anteriore” on the subject of “Power of change: artistic visions for a fossil -free world”. An endless SMS dialogue shines on a flat screen against the coal tower, which alludes to the photographer student on the fact that there has been no production break since the discovery of the current. Your photographs of briquette surfaces like earthy satellite images from space can pause. Wimmer’s work can be seen in the exhibition “Talented & Established” until autumn, curated by Maria Venzl (Upper Austria. Landes-Kultur GmbH) and Reinhard Gattinger, art representative of Energie AG.
