Flesh & the Mirror : Führung mit der Kuratorin Anna Havemann

In the organizer's words:

Haus Kunst Mitte is dedicating an exhibition to Rebecca Fontaine-Wolf in Berlin for the first time. Under the title Flesh & the Mirror - The Self-Image of Rebecca Fontaine-Wolf, series of works from the last four years will be presented that impress with their innovative pictorial inventions and unmistakable technique.

With her works, the British-German artist, who lives in Portugal, challenges conventional notions of gender, sexuality and identity. She reveals and dismantles the representation of women in art as well as in advertising, film and the media.

Trained as a painter, she has decided to integrate the digital into her working process in response to the explosion of digital communication during the coronavirus pandemic. In her large-format and highly conceptual photographs, she combines digital production processes with painting and collage.

Fontaine-Wolf takes her own experience seriously and at the same time allows for other perceptions and experiences. There is an openness in her works, which do not illustrate theses but are nevertheless political. With her work, the 42-year-old is firmly anchored in the feminist art of the 21st century.
