Inszeniertes Selbst. Marta Astfalck-Vietz

In the organizer's words:

In just one decade - the so-called Golden Twenties - the artist Marta Astfalck-Vietz (1901-1994) created a dazzling oeuvre of self-portraits, nude and dance photographs and experimental images in Berlin. She worked both in front of and behind the camera - as a photographer, director and model. Astfalck-Vietz humorously addresses gender roles in the Weimar Republic and uses the camera to confidently show a wide range of possibilities for female identity. Using masks, theatrical poses and grotesque elements, she develops a style that combines personal introspection with socio-political themes.

In the year of the 50th anniversary of the Berlinische Galerie, the museum is dedicating
Marta Astfalck-Vietz a comprehensive solo exhibition with over 140 works. With the latest findings on the artist's publication practice as well as feminist perspectives, the exhibition and catalog present a work that has been largely overlooked to date and situate it in art history.
