Louisa Clement

German-english edition

The question of identity has always preoccupied artists. Louisa Clement is no different, her central theme is the human being and the human in the digital. In her art, she starts out from herself, but ventures much further, asking how identity will be shaped in the future and examining forms of transformation. In the series of works Repräsentantinnen (Representatives), she creates AI-equipped, adaptive images of herself, with which visitors can converse. In photographic works, the master pupil of Andreas Gursky continues this examination of the body and its possible optimisations and deals with military legacies under the aspect of transformation.

This publication is appearing for an exhibition at the Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum - both artists are united in their search for self-expression, as Paula Modersohn-Becker's Self-portrait on 6th wedding anniversary from 1906 demonstrates in a succinct manner.

Louisa Clement (born 1987 in Bonn) completed her studies at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in 2015 as a master pupil of Andreas Gursky. She has already exhibited in various institutions and museums, including e.g.: Museum Frieder Burda, Baden-Baden (2022); Casino Luxembourg - Forum d'art contemporain (2022); Ludwig Forum Aachen (2019); Sprengel Museum Hanover (2019)
