Description: "For her first solo exhibition in Austria, Emily Roysdon has developed a scenic environment whose character is deliberately left undefined, somewhere between installation art, stage setting, and performance space. Its conceptual point of departure is Roysdon’s essay Uncounted, which develops a vocabulary around the artist’s ideas on performance and time. Divided into 23 short sections, it collages quotes, poetic digressions, and philosophical meditations to chart her thoughts on time, theater, performance, hierarchies, resistance, and emancipatory practices. Over time, the artist found that the text evolved into a sort of script. For the show, Roysdon focused her attention on three poetic phrases articulated in the text: “aliveness trespasses, it doesn’t know it’s marginal”; “to perform as an unsolved problem”; and “a structure to be alive inside”."
