In her current exhibition at message salon, Selina Trepp presents a selection of works created over the past two years. The material in drawings, video images, animations, and sounds becomes an installation offering insight into the life of an artist in the United States today. Political awareness intervenes in the private world of her circle of friends. Private and political, art and music happen in public. “Politikin’” is a playful and humorous accumulation of thoughts on political and historical awareness in everyday life, arranged in a combination of images, video, music, and a bubble machine.
The Zurich-born artist has regularly shown exhibitions, videos, and performances at the message salon since 1995. Selina Trepp has a long-standing friendship with Esther Eppstein, and as the artist duo “Treppstein,” they once celebrated worldwide success at the message salon. Selina Trepp has been living and working in Chicago, USA, for seven years.
