Description: "Alexandra Meyer, who received the Manor Art Prize Schaffhausen in 2017, captivates the viewer with humor and a natural lightness. With a fine sensitivity and an often surprising perspective, she deals with major questions of human existence in the interaction between body, spirit, and psyche. She uses a wide variety of media such as video, performance, photography, installations, sculpture, and drawing. In the catalogue, which was published on occasion of her solo exhibition at the Museum zu Allerheiligen, the artist will present new works, including multi-part video works and a conceptual installation. The works deal with breath, air, strength, identity, traces left behind, and memory. Simple in aesthetic and with a style reduced to the essential, the artist suggests the universal and creates a striking symbolism - images that stay with us"--Publisher's website.
Notes: Catalog of an exhibition held at the Museum zu Allerheiligen, Schaffhausen, July 5 - September 24, 2017, in the context of the Schaffhausen Manor Art Prize 2017.
