Home just a minute from the streets
Paula Henrike Herrmann
with Sveta Mordovskaya
and Anastasia Chaguidouline
The painter Paula Henrike Herrmann (b.1993, Bern, lives and works in Zurich), emerges herself in various forms of paintings, pictures, while her work has an attribute which could be called integration. The round forms that reappear stand for „an ongoing process of returning to oneself“. She considers her work to be an album of a person that could be herself. This album is constantly being reworked, reframed, cut up and put together. The timeline is not linear, old works become part of new works in some sort of digestion.
