The solo exhibition “ILINX extended” by Rebeka Vaino will be opened at Vent Space project space on Wednesday, July 31 at 6pm. The exhibition will be open until August 2 from 12-6pm.
According to Roger Caillois, Ilinx is a category of play defined by dizziness, vertigo; what you feel when you gallop on a half-wild horse across an empty beach or forget yourself and your surroundings while dancing in some techno club. The exhibition is inspired by the artist’s personal experiences – summers on the backs of horses as well as the endless dances in Berlin’s techno clubs. Throughout history horses have symbolised freedom, movement and desire. Due to this and the use of the horse tranquiliser ketamin in the clubs, the white horse has become the symbol of Berlin clubbers. This is why the artist chose the white horse as her starting point in the exhibition. The aim of the exhibition is to look at the relation between human and horse, people and (sexual/social) freedom and a person and their inner animal.
Ilinx is an audiovisual exhibition, which is a development of Rebeka Vaino’s graduation work, TASE ’19, Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA).

Vaino is an internationally active artist with group and solo shows in Berlin, Budapest and Tallinn. In her art, she focuses on the human body, a person’s primitive nature and relationship with nature in a self-portrait fashion.
