Mary-Audrey Ramirez

INTO A GRAVEYARD FROM ANYWHERE

20 June – 23 August 2020

Mary-Audrey Ramirez's (*1990 in Luxemburg, lives and works in Berlin) installations are occupied by tamed, larger-than-life-sized feral creatures. Together with videos, textile drawings and objects, they create a fantastic world, full of pop-cultural references: films like Star Wars (since 1977), series like Stranger Things (since 2016) and games like Tomb Raider (1996-2018) have become part of our collective visual memory and in subtle ways impact today’s view of the past, present and future as well as shape our perception of social structures and gender relations.

Like Menetekel announcing the effects of the technical revolution on the human condition, Ramirez’ works visualize these animated parallel worlds, presenting them as surrogates of our longings, needs and dreams. However, they also represent the fascination, lust, and joy in escapism. Similar to apparitions from the unconscious, her works remind us that humans and animals, reality and fiction as well as physical and digital space have long become inseparable.
