Valentina Karga. Sinking Feeling.

Valentina Karga (born 1986 in Chalkidiki, Greece) creates spaces that combine art, design, architecture and research. Her work brings together elements of socially engaged practices and speculative experiments that challenge existing social and physical infrastructures in the fields of energy, the economy, the climate crisis and collective emotions. In her solo exhibition at the Klocker Museum, the artist explores the intertwined issues of climate change, the car industry and the historical and contemporary manifestations of fascism. The exhibition builds on research by the Zetkin Collective and examines how fossil capitalism is transforming into fossil fascism, whilst the extreme-right scene promotes the maintenance of maximum carbon consumption.
