Judith Fegerl (*1977) studied Visual Media Design and Digital Art at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, as well as Art and New Media at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna with Peter Kogler and Birgit Jürgenssen.

Her major solo exhibitions include “on/” at Kunstraum Dornbirn (2023), “solar” at Galerie Hubert Winter in Vienna (2021), and “in charge” at Taxispalais Kunsthalle Tirol in Innsbruck (2017). Her works have also been shown internationally, including at Museion Bolzano, Art Basel Statements, and Kunstverein Leipzig.

Fegerl has received several awards, including the Media Art Prize of the City of Vienna (2019) and the Dagmar Chobot Sculpture Prize (2022). Her works are held in renowned collections such as Belvedere Vienna, 21er Haus, Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz, and the Collection of the State of Lower Austria.

For the exhibition, the established artist Judith Fegerl was invited to present her work Reservoir in a new version created for Energie AG. Six copper and six aluminum plates will be exposed to an electrochemical process throughout the duration of the exhibition. The water used is sourced from nearby Lake Traunsee, referencing another site of Energie AG.
The installation serves as a political statement: a quiet reminder of how electrical energy—often invisible—has deeply transformed our civilization over time. The work is complemented by another piece from her life light series.
