In a body of water, she gasped for air, not helpless. Reverse baptism, once again, a false promise. Maximum penetration. No sins, either way. How dare I. And now you kneel before me and I see you like he could never. Wondering. Staying the opposite, always. They say guilt, guilt all the way. A sense of inherent wrongness, growing inwards. Oh, but who wouldn’t. Now exercise to exorcize and see you on the other side. C’est goodbye bye bye, father of misery, a men.

Shown in the joint exhibition Chorus – enjoy photography 7 by Tina Bauer and Matthias K. Heschl at Schule Friedl Kubelka for Artistic Photography from 10 to 12 March 2022 .
Tina Bauer's work focuses on liberating female, queer, and other marginalized bodies from the role attributions they are subject to in a strongly church-influenced society. In her cross-media sound-image-text installation, she reverses the power relations and reinterprets the term “exorcism” as appropriated by the church.
