Artwork Information

50 x 50 cm, 2020

Material
Ink on paper

The "Shadow Worlds" cycle by Petra Traxler-Pilgram delves into the dark, often repressed facets of society, exposing power structures, betrayal, and abuse. Her works play a diabolical game with truth, challenging the hypocrisies of everyday life while addressing shifting perceptions of masculinity and the complex dynamics between victims and perpetrators.

Through haunting shadow plays and evocative allegories, Traxler-Pilgram compels viewers to confront the fears and voyeuristic tendencies inherent in human nature. In a world where appearance and reality frequently collide, she brings rumors and dark fantasies to light, creating a space where the boundaries between reality and illusion blur.

These works are more than reflections of societal injustices—they are an invitation to face uncomfortable truths and question one’s own perspective.
