»What did I do so far? Any remarkable achievements or prospects? What can I expect from life? From myself? And the people I’m with?«
– Ale Bachlechner

The planet Saturn takes about twenty-nine and a half years to travel around the sun. So when you are about to turn thirty, it‘s just completing its cycle and returning to the position it occupied at the instant of your birth. This event is called: Saturn Return.
Dressed in New Age costumes and taking on tenuous gender roles, the artists enact critical and intensive experiences from their own biographies.
