D. and H. are artists who have been married for around two decades and are now carefully estranged from each other. They live in a glass jewel of modern architecture, where it is easy to lose track of where the outside ends and the inside begins because of all the sliding doors, pass-throughs and stairs. H. wants to sell the house, which sounds like a divorce to D.. But perhaps it is also that she fears for her artistic existence - which seems to be connected to the building in a fascinatingly eerie way ...
Joanna Hogg's artistic career is as unusual as it is exemplary: she began in the early 1980s with rather structural Super 8 films; she then made a career with television plays and TV series episodes; before finally turning to cinema in the mid-2000s, with films that are formally intimate and fragile, yet thematically beguilingly offensive - Unrelated (2007) revolves around, among other things, hebephile longings, while D.'s Kunst is characterized by a robustly exhibitionist dimension. Exhibition is clearly more genre-like and allegorical in its approach than her previous works - a kind of Rohmerian horror film in the spirit of Giorgos Lánthimos.
