The photographic triptych "Customs" by Christina Lag-Schroeckenstein is dedicated to the tension between history, tradition and exclusion. It asks about those customs, some of which are based on old superstitions, which give the stranger a mostly grimacing face. Which deface the foreign into monstrosity. that turn the alien into a prejudice. When evil spirits are to be driven out and hellish creatures chased away, the different is displayed as violent barbarism.

She encounters the rough, the brittle, the unpolished, which the Pannonian sometimes has as a landscape, as a cultural and living space

Tone on Tone White

The four white towers fenced in by barbed wire in Christina Lag-Schröckenstein's installation tell of the absurdities of a humanity that has misunderstood globalization as an egocentric process without justice and balance. They tell of corporations that first steal people's water and other raw materials in order to then sell them to them at a high price
