Overview
The exhibition "Home Invasion: Retreat" by Elza Ozolīte and Killian Butler took place at the BARK BERLIN GALLERY from August 24 to September 5, 2019. Central to the exhibition was a live multimedia collage that explored the distorted understanding of self-care in the 21st century. Ozolīte and Butler used fragmented rhetoric to critique the ritualized practices of modern wellness culture, with their aesthetic strategy tracing back to virtual worlds, where reality is often exaggerated and distorted.
The exhibition combined digital media and performative elements, creating a fluid, ever-evolving situation that navigated between retreat and the grotesque. This "liminal" experience—existing between different states—both questioned and revealed the absurdities of contemporary wellness practices?
By merging video, installation, and performance, "Home Invasion: Retreat" invited viewers to confront the complexities and contradictions of self-care in an increasingly digital world.
