I dreamt a little dream

Exhibition

By: Selamawit Mulugeta Zewdie

With her photographs, artist Selamawit Mulugeta takes us into the world of dreams and asks: Can there be post/decolonial feminist dreams and if so, what would they look like? In doing so, the photos follow the female subject “Creature”, that understands the night, above all, as an in-between space, where questions of self-empowerment in relation to the positionality of the subject arise in an explorative and experimental way. The transition between day and night serves as a place where the subject is bound and unbound as an abstracting possibility of creation. The photographic series is related to Selamawit’s previous paintings, whose approach to form and medium is different, however, these works also deal with questions of self-empowerment based on the artist’s own position. Perspective, dialectics and ambivalence of being are constantly related to the question of violence and the fact that being, as well as not being, are at the same time essential characteristics of the human being itself. These relations as well as a critical approach to the abstraction of the female body as artistic content are focal points of Selamawit’s work.
