This international multimedia artist often returns to her childhood, and her childhood is also ours. She reduces the people in the family album of her childhood so that they emerge as black silhouettes in an indistinct landscape. She makes vinyl dolls without heads, hands, and feet, linked together in an eternal game, or she makes foam-rubber children, enclosed in their clothing. Her works also take their departure in her own body, her own face - in sculptures and drawing with the skin overlaid by a meander pattern - or else in photographs taken from below with the focus on her naked throat. The exhibition will present various expressions among other things pose questions about relations, identity, and socialization - we will meet an artist with an unusual strength. This book reveals the genius of this celebrated artist who has successfully found an array of materials and media that serve as poignant and powerful forms of expression.
