Sicardi Ayers Bacino is pleased to announce Jorinde Voigt: trust and rain, the artist's second solo exhibition at the gallery. Working across collage, montage on mirror, pastel, and gold leaf, Voigt explores processes of inner perception as they relate to affect and emotion, imagination, memory, sensory experience, natural and cultural phenomena, scientific data, philosophical concepts, and interpersonal relationships.

Trust and rain brings together works made between 2012 and 2023. Liebe als passion XIV (2013) alludes to Niklas Luhmann's book Love as passion: the codification of intimacy (1982), which Voigt used as an occasion to visualize processes of spontaneous image-finding, asking herself: "What kind of territories of the imagination are being constructed? Which images are being communicated? Which mental images are being evoked in me?" Trust and rain in June II (2020–21), by contrast, is quintessentially Voigt — oneiric, scientific, rhythmic, and recursive, depicting biomorphic structures, or perhaps microscopic plastic debris, adrift in a greenish pictorial space. Who, or what, should we trust?

Through these works, Voigt invites viewers to consider how images emerge from the interplay between perception, knowledge, and imagination. Her practice brings together seemingly disparate fields, from scientific observation to philosophical inquiry and emotional experience, creating visual compositions that resist straightforward interpretation. By combining diverse materials and techniques, the artist constructs intricate visual systems in which organic forms, abstract patterns, and reflective surfaces suggest the complexity of human thought and the ways individuals make sense of the world around them. The exhibition ultimately encourages a reconsideration of trust as both a personal and collective experience, shaped by the images, ideas, and relationships through which we understand reality.
