Peripheral ARTeries
Dorothee Zombronner (Germany) an artist’s statement
My works are about memories,the meaning of time. In a collage of different pictures from magazine-pictures or photographs as,but from my own biography as well. I create stories,that never happened in that particular way, but inherits myriad's of other stories,that can be found out n the viewers mind. 15
An other issue of these works are the reflections of the aspects,the possibilities and the limits of painting. The series "Pippletips" is a queer-feminist work.It is about perception of pictures. Like a mental test, the viewers are invited to associate what they are think to see. These works are playing with figures like hair, skin, spots,organs, blood, genitals. In my exhibitions i got often asked "But what gender has it?". That is a central point of this work, because there is no definite explanation for each picture. Its the vievers mind, who categorizes and tries to decide the question of gender, beauty and about what the want to see.
