Regionale 14
The exhibition ”dé – fil – é” at FABRIKculture in Hégenheim/F was part of Regionale 14 and curated by Françoise Theis.
The five works shown by Sibylle Feucht, are from a greater photographic series, which developed during a longer stay of the artist in Johannesburg/ZAF. The images show boundary walls that are part to the everyday life in residential districts with high crime rates. With this, mostly white estate owners isolate their private space from the public space, they shut themselves away and expel the ones who are not welcome.

The rigorousness of this measure riddled with observation cameras, barbed wire and motion sensors, is additionally exacerbated by helpless seeming ornaments and plantings. The motives formally duplicate the wall of the exhibition space, figuratively they represent the criticism of every ostracism type and they question the social consequence of such one.
