In A Woman’s Sports Car, which Raphaela Vogel (born 1988 in Nuremberg) created for her exhibition at Haus der Kunst, the artist places viewers in a spectacular but unstable setting. A dual-channel projection beams from the headlights of a rotating, canary-yellow sports car, a 1981 Spitfire Triumph. The cones of light form a pair of eyes that offer a glance into a spherical world distorted by a 360-degree optic. As if thrown into a childhood dream, it remains unclear whether it is the steps of the young woman with her animal companion, a poodle, that makes the globe spin, or whether the movement originates in the pneumatic pumping of the protagonist’s accordion. A world in a state of constant wavering, sometimes rocking.
