While the archetypal ideal human being of neoliberal consensus is mainly characterized by notions connected to the aimed idea of „youth”, such as vitality, potency, dynamism and mobility, this is less and less connected to the real demographic tendencies of ageing Western welfare societies. However, it seems that the market of life forms/feelings, milieu, trends and auras – generated in various subsystems of digital culture – doesn't really reacts to this transition. Thus the exhibition wishes to examine the aesthetic dimensions of this problem by entering the world of professions, services and institutions developed around the elderly.

DOMINIKA TRAPP was born in 1988 in Budapest. She lives in Berlin, and works in Berlin and Budapest. She studied painting at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, Budapest.
Her paintings, drawings and collages are moving between abstract forms, doodling, and fragmented narratives resulting in some kind of personal mythology or socio-fantasy. Recently she has also been doing research based installations and actions related to food and eating, ranging from deep-fried everything till edible Viacolor bricks and experiments with fermented poems and vegetables. She is one of the founding members of the artist collective Csakoda, a group of young artists organizing travelling exhibitions in community centers in the countryside.
