Weaving together collective history and personal narratives, Lukas Heerich creates forms that are both abrasive and vulnerable. Protection, isolation, and power are juxtaposed in settings marked by an intensified material presence. At once agoraphobic and claustrophobic, his works construct psychological spaces—repositories of neurosis, phobia, and contemporary anxiety. With curators Pierre-Alexandre Mateos and Charles Teyssou, he will investigate a poetry of disaster with a raw and intoxicating sensuality.
