Tracey Snelling "This is us"
27.02.2025 - 13.04.2025 ,
Literaturhaus München (House of Literature Munich)
Poetic and sensual, socially critical and playful: These are the installations of Berlin-based American artist Tracey Snelling. She is exhibiting in Munich for the first time as part of the Munich Literature Festival.
Tracey Snelling began as a photographic artist and expanded her work with collages and assemblages. From 1998, she created her first house sculptures - miniature buildings that are transformed into scenes of mysterious dramas with collaged photos, videos and lighting effects.
Snelling's work reflects what is hidden and repressed in our society. It is about living together and the stories of people in urban, often precarious housing situations. Tracey Snelling bases her house sculptures on existing buildings around the world: in Shanghai, Berlin, Naples or her home town of Oakland in California. The atmospheric features, the realistic details, the minimal alienations open up space for an examination of the question: How do we live - how do we want to live?
