MYTHOS – NEU GEDACHT
Hans Erni Museum, Lucerne
15 October 2026 – 28 February 2027
I am showing my video work A SICILIAN MYTH (2023) in this group exhibition of 24 women artists.
In Sicily, the Testa di Moro sits on every balcony: a painted ceramic head with basil growing out of it. Behind the souvenir lies a murder. In the video I drop the head. It shatters, returns intact, and everything begins again.
Opening: Thursday, 15 October 2026, 6 pm
Artists' tour: Thursday, 12 November 2026, 6 pm
Curated by Dr Heinz Stahlhut and Ursula Meier
PLAY AS PRACTICE
Group exhibition, Part I

I am showing MOTHER SOCCER (2025), an installation of footballs suspended from the ceiling on Moncler straps. Visitors step behind it, and the balls hang at their own chest height.
