To Feed Your Oracle, a solo exhibition by German-born, Melbourne-based artist and film-maker Ruth Höflich will be held at Linden New Art from 22 May – 22 August. The installation of photography, video and site intervention will explore how we try to understand or predict things that we can’t see, and how our expectations can affect our experiences of the unknown.
In 2019, Höflich was awarded the Georges Mora Fellowship. This new body of work has been created through the fellowship, which allowed her access to the State Library of Victoria’s special collections. Specifically, Höflich drew inspiration from the library’s Alma Conjuring Collection. This exhibition explores the different concepts of magic, from inattentional blindness, divination and magic as a portal to the unknown.
