AGREEMENT

**(VERABREDUNG)**

The works of Manfred Erjautz, Michael Kienzer and Markus Wilfling have one thing in common: It all focuses on individual experiences transposed beyond the walls of triviality. Theirs is a unique style that blurs the lines between fiction and reality, and the result is a fantastic imaginarium of distorted perception. The Vienna exhibit is curated by Martin Fritz.
