Anja Fußbach commits her Berlin solo debut and presents a comprehensive work show in the form of a room installation. Most diverse media and materials are deployed, held together by the characteristic handling of Fußbach, who operates with a free combination of objects and merges them with her artisanal craft. On the one hand the title Candy Land reports on a curatorial overall concept, on the other hand it imparts a first access to the dimension of the show in terms of content. Artificially built places like amusement parks often use an exaggerated symbolic language of a deceived positivism, which turns quickly into fiction and disillusionment by its exaggeration. Places where enacted sweetness rules mostly contain just as much bitterness in reality and reflect human needs in a complex way along with their attached oddity. Fußbach transforms this vocabulary into her own language thereby using the formal capability and placing disconnected autonomic statements about the human in society. The contained ambivalence of pretence and being can be relocated within the stressed relationship which unfolds between the works and work groups.
