In their solo exhibition Anima Atman, Troika continues to explore the intersections between virtual and material realities in new installations, paintings, and sculptural objects.
The exhibition’s main installation of silicon and living plants Anima Atman dismantles a human-centric hierarchy of being by exploring the agency of plant life. Troika raises philosophical questions about the forces that give life to matter, what constitutes intelligent life, and where human beliefs, knowledge and understanding sit within these questions. The exhibition explores the porous boundaries between human and other forms of intelligence, and previews Troika’s major solo exhibition at the Langen Foundation in Neuss opening in September 2024.
Presented for the first time, Troika’s new series of large metal Obsolete Landscapes are based on sky fragments taken from the desktop backgrounds of various Mac operating systems.
Currently Troika’s works are part of the group exhibition Poetics of Encryption at KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin and on view until 26 May. In addition to the solo exhibition at max goelitz in Berlin, Troika will open the solo show Terminal Beach at the MAK in Vienna on April 30, 2024. They will be presenting their most extensive solo exhibition to date Pink Noise at the Langen Foundation in Neuss from 1 September.
