METAMORPHOSIS

“My mind carries me to tell of bodies changed into new forms.”  Ovid, Metamorphoses I.1

In “Metamorphosis”, three artists trace how the body becomes image, fragment, and apparition. Kata Ölschlägel suspends the skeleton, threaded with embroidery that alters its starkness into vivid form. Katrin Weidhofer layers photography, watercolor, and stitching into figures that carry memory and fracture in equal measure. Viktoria Andreeva distorts the dancer’s body into landscape, dissolving form into flux. Across these works, the body emerges as mutable matter: vulnerable, transformed, and perpetually in transition.

Kata Ölschlägel, Katrin Weidhofer, and Viktoria Andreeva each explore the body as a site of transformation. From embroidered skeletons to fractured figures and distorted photographic forms, their works reveal embodiment as flux. Metamorphosis presents the body as image and matter continually becoming other.
