.................................................................................
During this in-conversation event, contemporary artist Bettina von Zwehl will discuss her photographic work and objects in the forthcoming Ashmolean NOW exhibition, The Flood (opening in October 2024).
The exhibition explores the artist's response to the Ashmolean founding collection based on her residency at the Museum in 2022/23.
The Flood reveals the artist's use of the museum as an artistic medium, her complex relationship with photography as a language and material and the Wunderkammer phenomenon in the context of ecological imbalance and environmental collapse.
Von Zwehl will delve into the thought processes and techniques behind her work and reflect on her unique photographic installations that move between portraiture, silhouetted fragments, still-life, monumental and miniature elements.
