The exhibition gives insight into the life and work of Hannah Höch (1889 -1978), without, however, including her artwork in the areas of painting and drawing. The center of interest is here a selection of her important collages, which were created over a period of more than 5 decades.
The dadaistic principle of photomontage which she uses as an art form was one she remained true to for the rest of her life-she was, in fact, a main influential figure in its development at the beginning of the 20th century, together with Raoul Hausmann.
Without subscribing to a canon of form as a set program, she opens up new and irritating picture worlds through the manifold combination of contradictory sequences, formed of cutouts from magazines, brochures and photographs. Her criticism of the political situation and gender roles handed down for generations is subtly cloaked in hallucinatory plant representations and grotesque scenes of absurd hermaphrodite beings and hybrids.
A catalogue of the exhibition is available.
