Who am I?

Inna Levinson, Walter Stöhrer

Generations of artists have, over the centuries, reflected on their identity.

Walter Stöhrer (1937 – 2000 / Germany), an important representative of gestural and scriptural painting, expressed his individuality in opposition to the uniformity of post-war Germany, vehemently resisting petty-bourgeois conventions in his artistic practice.

In our increasingly digitalised age, the works by contemporary artist Inna Levinson (*1984 in Ukraine), on the other hand, analyse the supposedly liberal individualism that turns out to be an illusion. In her intense investigation of digital phenomena, she explores and questions the essence of reality.

If Stöhrer in his works desperately embarked on a repeated search for himself between the realms of the real and the surreal, Levinson explores the fusion of reality and virtuality to experience the fleetingness of identity.
