laura franzmann’s (*germany) multidisciplinary practice, comprising painting,
drawing, textile work and installation, focuses on strategies of re-enchantment
and revolves around images of beings inhabiting the liminal space between
mythology, art history, artefacts, folkart and personal rites and dreams that derive from them.
through her work she explores the interconnections and relationships these beings
- animals, plants, mythological creatures, humans - are forming with each other.
they become the protagonists of the stories in her work, and act as mediators between a desirable animistic
and post-patriarchal narrative and the affiliation in which they remain in the here and now.
In this the notion of embodiment and figuration play a crucial role, unveiling the fiction of historiography
and opening a pictorial and critical space to our social constructions.
