TRAFO: A transformer station, also known as a substation, is a facility for converting electrical energy from one voltage level to another. It is an important component of an area's power supply.
Artists also perform a transformation from one voltage level to another with their work. They perceive social trends and translate them into their work. This is an important part of the discourse supply of society.

With the TRAFO exhibition, we are presenting a snapshot of artistic positions that come together for a few days to form an exciting community. The compilation of exhibits, each of which represents a transformation of information, energy and meaning, is a temporary transformer station in an exhibition setting. The works enter into a contemporary tension with one another.
As our society moves towards a paradigm shift that will fundamentally change our social, economic, ecological and psychological situation in the long term, this exhibition can be read as a reflection of the mood surrounding this change.

Karø Goldt (b. 1967 in Günzburg, Germany) is a Berlin-based artist, filmmaker, and curator whose practice spans photography, video, and installation. Since the early 1990s, her work has explored the interplay between perception, memory, and the structures through which we interpret reality.

Over the past three decades, Goldt has built a distinctive body of work at the intersection of photography, film, and theory. Her artistic method—referred to as “framing”—examines how perception, memory, and context continuously reshape meaning. In each new constellation, archival images are rearranged to form temporary, spatial essays on seeing and remembering.

In her ongoing series FRAME (2022–2025), Goldt develops site-specific photo installations composed from her extensive analog and digital archive. Each iteration is newly arranged in response to the given space, evoking a continuous process of re-framing and reinterpretation. Her approach draws upon psychology, sociology, and quantum theory — questioning how meaning shifts when context, perception, or spatial relationships change.

“The world as a whole is blurred,” writes Goldt, echoing Werner Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. “My frames exist in that space of shifting clarity.”
