Microcosm of everyday life
Petra Traxler-Pilgram’s cycle "Microcosm of Everyday Life" offers a captivating exploration of daily life, unraveling the contrasts between the individual and society, strength and vulnerability, love and isolation. With a sharp eye for detail, she examines everyday rituals—from fashion and food to celebrations and the fates intertwined with them.
Her works delve into the duality of interior and exterior worlds, addressing the challenges of conformity and the often narcissistic self-presentation in a culture shaped by influencers and masterminds. Traxler-Pilgram masterfully navigates the facets of life, moving fluidly between themes of love and desire, triumph and loss, playfulness and gravity.
Through her incisive observation of the human psyche and soul, she creates a space that invites both humorous and critical reflection on the performances of daily life. This "swing time" of emotions and experiences encourages viewers to rediscover and question the narratives and norms of their everyday existence.
