Basis
Frankfurt, Germany
Feb 10 – Apr 30, 2023
Opening: Feb 9, 7pm
In her installations and objects, Ella Littwitz (b. 1982 in Haifa, Israel) addresses the permanence, legitimacy and overcoming of borders and their historical, cultural, and political meanings. her working method is characterised by a fundamental doubt about these markers as immovable entities that are erected by humans on the basis of certain traditions, political interests, or religious beliefs. she is concerned with the question of how, for example, borders between israel and adjacent territories are established and consolidate or change over time. through the artistic modification, relocation and transformation of border markers, she exposes the mechanisms of political constructs and traditional narratives.
The exhibition is curated by Christin Müller and Felix Ruhöfer
