Pedro Gomez-Egaña at the 56th edition of steirischer herbst festival (21/09/2023)
The 56th edition of steirischer herbst festival Humans and Demons turned to character-based storytelling to show how people navigate today’s moral gray zones and deal with the demons surrounding them. Especially after its renovation in the 1990s, Forum Stadtpark resembles a modernist villa, an incongruous, maybe even utopian home for dissenters. For steirischer herbst ’23, Villa Perpetuum Mobile becomed the residence of a dissident’s dissident, the physicist, poet, and erstwhile mental patient Stefan Marinov. The dining area of Villa Perpetuum Mobile was taken up by Pedro Gomez-Egaña’s installation The Believers, mounted here as part of Stefan Marinov’s fictitious home. The exhibition was on view from September 21 to October 15, 2023.
