„More Atmosphere! marks a return to Thie’s artistic origins as a painter. The exhibition takes its title from a phrase often used by film and television directors, who, seeking to create more evocative shots, call for ‘more atmosphere!’ – a demand usually met with the production of fog or smoke by technicians on the set. ‘Real’ conditions, thus, are conjured by artistic intervention. The means of atmospheric production are centre-stage in Thie’s new collection of works.  While filming a television series in Budapest, Thie began to consider the objects that surrounded her while she waited for her scenes. Such objects provide the crucial – and crucially invisible – infrastructure of moving image production and popular entertainment. This paradox, ‘present absence’, became a fulcrum for larger questions the artist seeks to pose about the invisibilisation of forms of labour, the often deceptive power of narrative, and the ways in which minds and objects interact.“ (Textauszug: Courtesy FRAGILE)
