Nicole Six
Nicole Six and Paul Petritsch explore and traverse their environment with very concrete experiments. With expeditions into everyday life, across oceans, polar regions, through concrete deserts as well as lunar landscapes they explore the limits of our existence and perception. They locate themselves and spectators within art spaces, architecture and landscapes by means of interventions and experimental setups that sometimes turn towards the absurd and which, over the years, have resulted in an archive of poetic metaphors for human exposure in space. Time and again they put security and familiarity of our everyday lives to the test and challenge limits, also those of their own bodies.
