Ryan Trecartin and Lizzie Fitch create exuberant video installations where the clickbait logic on computers is driven to absurdity against bad-taste backdrop sceneries. The sculptural theater Premise Place (edit 1), which will be screened for the second time in Europe at the Kunsthalle Krems, feels like a brutal mix of YouTube make-up tutorials and trash TV casting shows in which a hyper-consumerist subculture that defies conventional identity categorisations performs the drama of narcissism oscillating between megalomania and collapse.
