FEEL GOOD<p>Dana Z aja: In preparation for this conversation, I had read texts about your work and found this sentence from the catalog for your first exhibition with us: »Strassburger integrates the existing reality material as part of a specific contemporary moment. Everything is recorded, linked together and continued: existential fear, fun culture, and fulfillment of lust.« When I thought about it, the first question for me was what reality even means to you? <br>Henning Strassburger: I like »existential fear, fun culture and fulfillment of lust« quite a bit.
