Screening of 'Supernature' by Lotte Meret Effinger

8 Jul 2016

Overview

Screening followed by an in-conversation with Cedric Fauq Lotte Meret Effinger’s practice engages with the western visual regime to disrupt its inner hierarchical and patriarchal order, using video, writing, photography and graphic-design. She often borrows her style from advertising codes while including odd elements which blur the lines between the mainstream and the subaltern, the desirable and the repulsive, the perceptible and the hidden. In 'Supernature' (2014), the artist reconstitutes a contemporary feminist and queer portrait of the witch, subverting representations of this figure in popular culture and the media. Lotte Meret Effinger (b. 1985, lives and works in Berlin) graduated from the Karlsruhe University of Art and Design in 2014 (Germany). Since then, she showed her work in different institutions among which Kunsthalle Basel (Switzerland), Kunsthalle Baden-Baden (Germany) and at the Arsenale in Venice (Italy). Her work has been acquired by Lafayette Anticipation, Fond de dotation Famille Moulin and Basler Kunstverein.
