Summary: | Swiss artist Franziska Rutishauser?s exhibition?reeling to real? at Kunstgebäude Schlosshof Bodenburg looks at the current and highly controversial topics of climate change and the Anthropocene era. In the show, she reflects on the problem of the man-made threat to our world, a danger that calls for us all to have a greater awareness of our actions than ever before. The publication presents works by the artist (painting, drawing, lightbox-installations) that sensitize viewers to the issue, namely, that the pervading, global threat to nature concerns every single human being. With her striking photorealistic oil paintings that blur the boundaries between the media of painting and photography, and which are sometimes reminiscent of scientific recordings, the artist addresses the conditions and limitations of sense perception, as well as our search for new insights, in order to gain a new understanding of reality and human existence as aggregate conditions of constant change. Exhibition: 'Bullenstall' Schlosshof Bodenburg, Bad Salzdetfurth, Germany (13.08.2016-18.09.2016).
