I

Installation view "I"

Based on reflections from Sigmund Freud's The Uncanny, Ernst Logar explores the phenomenon of the border
according to the "ego".
The inner dichotomy of the individual into the familiar and the uncanny corresponds with the dichotomy between what is intrinsic and what is foreign, constants which play a part in the definition of the concept of Heimat. The decisive factor is the boundary between the two areas. The artist draws a virtual boundary, in the form of two parallel boundary lines in red and white, through the town of Klagenfurt. Along this boundary there are posters with concise statements about terms such as "I" and "you", the internal and the external, what is intrinsic and what is foreign, directly addressing the reader and calling for identification. Through the placing of these statements on either side of the boundary, this becomes a mirror, the "I" and "you", so that what is intrinsic and what is foreign become interchangeable. The previously excluding units begin to communicate with each other, allowing for an inner monologue on identification and demarcation.
In his project I [= I in Carinthian dialect], Ernst Logar emphasises the human psychological disposition as a prerequisite for identification and exclusion, and thus for the existence of Heimat, of what is foreign, and the boundary between them. He suggests xenophobia as a possible consequence of the projective abilities of the person who, according to Freud, recognises his own repressed characteristics in the other, and he proposes crossing the boundary as a possibility for mutual understanding - on both a social and a political level.

SUSTAINABLE TRANSFORMATION

Ernst Logar produces credit card blanks from bioplastics. The credit card is the medium and expression of our present-day systems of economics and values. In this object, the artist symbolically ties together the economic and ecological levels and then proceeds by giving the cards over to a process of natural degradation. In this way, the cards once more turn into soil-and thus a new starting point for ecological growth.

"Vedno je obstajalo tu in ne zgolj v pripovedih o preteklosti"

Ernst Logar raziskuje s svojo instalacijo kot osrednjim elementom zgodovino gradu Katzenstein v slovenskih Begunjah.
Grad, v neposredni bližini meje z avstrijsko Koroško, je v letih 1941 - 1945 Gestapu služil kot zapor za talce.
Na tem obmocju so zabeležili povecano aktivnost partizanov, na katero so nacionalsocialisti odgovorili s povracilnimi ukrepi
nad civilnim prebivalstom.
Psihiatricni oddelki begunjske bolnišnice danes zavzemajo prostore nekdanjega zapora.

"It was always present, not only in stories about the past"

With his installation as a central element, Ernst Logar picks out the history of the Katzenstein castle situated in Begunje, Slovenia. The castle, in the immediate proximity of the Carinthian borders, served the Gestapo as a prison for their hostages between 1941 and 1945.
This area has registered strengthened partisan resistance and guerrilla activity which was dealt by the National Socialists
with repressive retaliatory measures against the civilians of this area.
Today the psychiatric units of Begunje hospital occupy rooms of the former prison.
