Klaus Pichler’s exhibition This Will Change Your Life Forever, on view at Vienna's Anzenberger Gallery through June 17th, is ostensibly a record of the artist’s two-year undercover stint as a member of various “new esoteric” groups, wherein he learned about—and participated in—their pseudo scientific and spiritual rituals and beliefs. Yet upon closer examination, Pichler’s investigation reveals the very real human emotions behind the strange flash and dazzle of it all. On display are staged photographs and digital collages of Pichler reenacting some of these cultish practices—sitting in a homemade “orgon accumulator” meant to transfer positive energy into his body, using the cardboard cylinder from a paper towel roll to suck negative thoughts out of his own head—as well as some of the objects used in these practices, all quotidian items with supposed mystical properties all ordered online at ridiculously high markups.
