Kara Walker - Profile

Kara Walker silhouettes and drawings combine versions of the history of the American South with pictures from her personal experience and imagination. Walkers prefer the cutting seems particularly against the backdrop of their youth in the Südestaaten understand where this art form in the 19th Century, was widespread. But the artist unmasked in their work this one-sided view of history. Their genre scenes from the Victorian era turn out on closer examination as dramatic representations of the slave-holder society and also as an attempt by the current identity. The limits of political correctness will be ignored. Indeed, Walker wants to provoke. In their projections, a combination of stapled to the wall silhouettes, graphic elements, and colored light, Walker even goes so far as to direct the viewer into the picture world. Through its shadow will be actively involved and the artwork can no longer escape. (German Guggenheim, Berlin )
