Opened as part of the Austrian capital’s Curated by gallery festival, which closes on September 26, the London-based artist’s show probed the psychological and physical responses to external and internal triggers of various dependencies buried in body memory and trauma. The combined series of new wall works, sculpture, a found object and sound recording are what Kretowicz calls “nauseous, squeamish and horny” in the exhibition’s curatorial essay. It describes Serber’s ambivalent examination of notions of immunity and disgust, communication and connection, as follows:

“Sometimes Sophie Serber thinks the words ‘control’ and ‘understanding’ are the same thing. But while it’s often hard for her to understand, it doesn’t stop her from taking control.“
