Near the site where in Prince Eugene’s day two ensembles of mythological figures adorned two water basins in the Belvedere garden, Toni Schmale now places her gefährt*innen. She thus ties onto the physicality and seemingly queer staging of these mythological sea gods and goddesses and their draft animals, yet foregoes a hierarchy between gods, animals, and humans. Schmale’s shimmering, motherof-pearl shell chariot is drawn by three hybrid beings made of steel, each with a concrete wheel as a foot. The relationship of the individual figures to one another remains equitable, as they are all to be understood as companions, gefährt*innen. Rather than entering into pre-defined roles, Schmale’s work hereby allows an open interpretation, which invites contemplation on power relations and spaces of negotiation.
