YAEKAHNGAI
“The title of the exhibition Yaekahngai came from a randomly generated WLAN password, which oddly sounded like a place to me,” says the artist about the genesis of her installative setting in the Kunstraum, which she conceives as a passageway between the analog world and multiple digital realities: “A Mongolian spirit realm? A Japanese netherworld? For the first time, the title came to me before anything else in the exhibition, and became a departure point and catalyst for the project as a whole.”
