In her unique way, Raphaela Vogel (b. 1988, Nuremberg) knows how to splice individual, interpersonal conflicts with the intraindividual challenges of modern society. In her videos, installations and performances, this is frequently expressed in terms of the confrontation between two competing worlds, the patent contradictoriness of which is clearer to us today than ever before: corporeality and technology.

She does this by torpedoing the classical subject/object relationship. Most of her videos are made using minicams attached to drones. This allows Vogel to film completely on her own and be simultaneously both viewer and the object of view. Control replaces the loss of control.

Her exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue in 2017 to be published in conjunction with the Motorenhalle Dresden.
