Christine & Irene Hohenbüchler

Christine and Irene Hohenbüchler are twin sisters and Austrian artists born in 1964. Their artistic and participatory focus lies in collaborating with social groups that are not initially in the creative process's spotlight. Based on the principle of "Multiple Authorship," they conceptualize and realize joint projects, as well as artist-initiated works.

For the exhibition at the Schader-Stiftung gallery, Christine and Irene Hohenbüchler created a fragile "...think of..." composed of portraits of volunteers who work with refugees. The portraits were initially provided as photographs to the artists, who then created pencil and colored pencil drawings. Each person receives an individual image that remains anonymous in the exhibition. The compilation of these portraits into a spatial and installation network enables an aesthetic representation of this engagement, reflecting the uniqueness of the volunteers, who usually take on their responsibility for society and those in need quietly.
