What happens when Maria Sibylla Merian meets a caterpillar that’s simply had enough of human nonsense? No more dissecting, separating, isolating – back to what makes us animals and living beings in a wonderful natural world… diversity, complexity, multiplicity, packs, fucking, eating, licking, pissing and shitting.
 
The Very Hungry Caterpillar has left her sheltered upbringing behind and won’t put up with any more nonsense! At the Kunsthaus Graz, it finally speaks her mind and turns out to be an uncompromising creature. Those who are well-behaved – and those who aren’t – get a present!
 
Artists Denise Palmieri, Larissa Kopp and Florian Aschka respond to Helen Chadwick’s exhibition with humour and gusto, tackling big themes with big caterpillars and plenty of humour on artist Liesl Raff’s stage sculpture.

Still Performing

Florian Aschka & Larissa Kopp, Andy Kassier, Milena Wojhan

12.06.–30.07.2026

With “Still Performing”, FOTOHOF presents artistic positions that combine performance and photography. At the center of the exhibition are constructed images that conceive of the photograph as a stage. Here, photography is not only a static representation, but part of performative strategies that actively expose processes of attribution and power relations. Against this backdrop, the works of Florian Aschka & Larissa Kopp, Andy Kassier, and Milena Wojhan engage subversively with institutional and discursive spaces. They question entrenched narratives and roles within majority society, as well as the impact of digital media on our self-images.
