You have always stood with your back turned, for generations. Eaten up inside with grief over the loss, nourished by sacrifice, a vocation or only sound you immediately recognized, for generations. I was a provocative child you said, you never heard me. 

During the exhibition of Annihilated HHK puts focus on burnt out women, mothers who have forgotten how to dream. Annihilated is visualized through uncontrollable painting which portrays woman after woman, mother after mother, huddled together, exploited, forced, in desperation. The paintings will be joined by the video Domestic Dancer where the availability concept is performed, and by the suicidal sculpture Goodbye. Furthermore, the sources of inspiration are also on display. Be it plates, LP covers, postcards, woven paintings all from thrift stores and all with worn out women but women in work, items that have adorned homes for generations. See you there burnt out or dreamy!

Du har altid stået med ryggen til, i generationer. Ædt op indvendigt af sorg over tabet, næret af opofrelsen, dit kald eller eneste lyd du umiddelbart kunne genkende, i generationer. Jeg var et provokerende barn sagde du, du hørte mig aldrig.

Med udstillingen Tilintetgjort sætter HHK fokus på udbrændte kvinder, mødre, der har glemt hvordan man drømmer. Tilintetgjort er visualiseret gennem ukontrollabelt maleri der portrætterer kvinde efter kvinde, moder efter moder, krøbet sammen, udnyttet, tvunget, i desperation. Malerierne får følgeskab af videoen Domestic Dancer hvor til rådigheds begrebet bliver performet samt den suicidale skulptur Farvel. Ydermere er inspirationskilden også udstillet. Det være sig platter, LP cover, postkort, vævet maleri, alt sammen fra genbrugsbutikker og alle af slidte men arbejdende kvinder, genstande der har prydet hjem, i generationer. Vel mødt udbrændt eller drømmende!
