Chrischa Venus Oswald's 'True' at Bari Gallery
Chrischa Venus Oswald (born 1984), a Bavarian performer based between Lisbon and Berlin, presents her second solo show 'True' at Galleria Incanti in Bari. The exhibition explores how posture influences daily interactions and worldview through photography, flags, an altar, and a video. The series 'Figure (spine)' reinterprets caryatid iconography as symbols of responsibility and grace. Visitors were invited during the opening to use '#True_flags' for a personal revolution starting from physical posture. An altar ('Offering') holds body part casts as relics. The titular video combines educational documentaries with dreamlike sequences, weaving together all exhibited works around posture as emotion and self-expression.
