Profile

GlogauAIR Project

Using various artistic media such as painting, sculpture and audio, my research explores the feeling of loneliness, especially at night, and the intimate relationship between people and their pillow.

„Pillow-No-Talk“ focuses particulary on the experience of loneliness within the LGBTQIA+ community, which often struggles with isolation more than the heteronormative population. It explores the complexities of loneliness in the journey of self discovery and coming out and its challenges including feelings of shame, fear and rejection, even by one’s own family.

The aim is to reach individuals also outside of the community and meet them in their experiences of loneliness, as ultimately, this is something shared by all human beings and unites us.
