Esther Zahel “Leere Hüllen fallen” | 26.4.–30.5.2026
In Esther Zahel’s exhibition “Leere Hüllen fallen,” the interior space becomes the stage for a state of being. Two large-format canvases depict furniture as figures: a shelf, a seat, two spatial forms. They stand on the edge of their function, tilting into motion, pressing against walls, holding on. The moment feels familiar and yet displaced—like a posture that has long been at work within them, even as they maintain stability. At the center of the exhibition is a wall piece made of charcoal. It is handwriting, but not text in the strict sense: fragments, beginnings, interruptions. It functions as a second layer—not as an explanation of the images, but as a form of thought made visible.
