Exhibition: Bau(m\ch)schmerz

CommunityEvents

By Ola Yeriemieieva
ZIEGEL
Opening as part of the Galerientage: Saturday, 17.05.2025 | 18:00
Exhibition duration: 18.05. – 25.05.2025, Wed-Sat: 16-19:00

The tombstone-trees depicted in the paintings first appeared in the nineteenth century in Jewish and Christian cemeteries. These monuments are usually associated with an interrupted life and symbolise untimely loss. They often represent the termination of a family line. Baumschmerz (the pain of the tree) is the pain of nature, representing the loss and finality of death. Bauchschmerz (stomach pain) is a metaphor for universal pain that unites human and natural experience, the pain of the tree and the pain of the human. In this room, there is a whole forest of cut-down trees that have become monuments of lost memory and broken stories.

Ola Yeriemieieva is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores themes of corporeality, death, loss, and memory. She investigates the fear of loss and the attempt to preserve what has not yet been lost. And if it has been lost, to reinterpret and materialize that loss. She is interested in examining these themes through subjective visions and personal narratives that intertwine with broader historical and political contexts, as memory and history are inseparable. Born in 1997 in Kyiv, Ukraine, she has a bachelor’s degree in graphic design from Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design in 2018. She also studied contemporary art at the Kyiv Academy of Media Arts. Selected Exhibitions: – Looking into the Gaps, Voloshyn Gallery, Kyiv (2024) – Women Artists in War, Labirynt Gallery, Lublin (2024) – Defloration, Mala Gallery, Kyiv (2024) – Kunst und Leben in Zeiten des Krieges, Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart (2023)
