"Virtuosic and powerful, [Bertlmann] puts into effect Adorno’s saying that kitsch parodies catharsis... Trilogic towers, unicorns and magic carpets guide us in another world, to the other side of a dream, the sublime, crucial for understanding our naked self. What was 'banal' can, with the passage of time, become fantastic."
– Felicitas Thun-Hohenstein, art historian and curator of 'Renate Bertlmann: Discordo Ergo Sum,' Austrian Pavilion, Venice Biennale 2019
