Katharina Wulff 
Guten Morgen, du Schöne

01 MAR until 14 APR 
Opening – 01 MAR, 6 – 9 pm

Katharina Wulff’s solo exhibition features mostly enigmatic portraits. Each individual stands alone against backdrops of displaced architecture that look as much social realist as it does redolent of film and theatre sets. While some portraits were inspired by the work of GDR photographers such as Sibylle Bergemann, most are the products of invention. Creating an inside and an outside, as well as a threshold one must pass, Wulff has hung her compositions on either side of Moroccan handcrafted, cedar, interior screens. These in-built sculptures divide the gallery space in two and were fabricated by traditional artisans in Marrakesh where the artist now lives. The exhibition, enlivened by cross-currents, has both a concrete part—attaching to real people, histories and tension-laden contexts—and then another abstract unfixed overlaid part, which speaks to the unruly imaginary and the seductive agency of art.
