Johannes Deutsch—Rape of Persephone—Shores of the Past and Future—Underground Sun Conversion
Exhibition
Lukas Feichtner Galerie Seilerstätte 19, 1010 Wien
9.10.—8.11.2025
Artists: Deutsch Johannes
The last works in Johannes Deutsch’s series on the geobiotechnological research on the Hausruck hills in Upper Austria, consisting of iPhone photographic drawings that were created between 2020 and 2023 and executed as pigment prints on tecco, are part of the experimental Gesamtkunstwerk that embraces many media, entitled “The Rape of Persephone—on the Shore of the Past and the Future.” Between 2012 and 2022 the artist worked at different locations in the Salzkammergut and Hausruck areas of Austria. During these years, he found over three hundred people and businesses in the region to collaborate with on his photo/moving images film on the legend of the “treasures of the earth.” One of the locations made it to the finale in the form of a perpetuum mobile. The subject matter of geobiotechnical research was an important influence. Thanks to the support of RAG, the finale of the moving picture was filmed at the location of the cooperation between RAG Austria AG, BOKU Wien, and MONTAN Universität Leoben in Upper Austria. The series of “Photographic Drawings” is devoted to the tools and instruments that were used in recent decades of research.
