✨Introducing the artists✨4
Kathi Sylvest studies Transmediale Kunst at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, and Jakob Liu Wächter studied at the Beaux-Arts de Paris. Working across sculpture, installation, and experimental practices, they have collaborated closely over the past years and curated several exhibitions together. They met at the artist-run space Bräuhausgasse 31 and are active within Vienna’s q***r art scene.

Their work, Garden of Eden, is a sculptural installation combining existing works by Kathi Sylvest and Jakob Liu Wächter into a walkable garden environment on pink artificial grass. Hyper-feminized, defensive forms and translucent, trans*chromatic plant structures form a synthetic ecology in which contrasting qualities—softness and protection, sweetness and toxicity—coexist. The installation proposes an adaptive, collective system of care shaped through spatial arrangement, material interaction, and the movement of visitors.
