The exhibition will span nearly five decades of von Samsonow’s practice, including limewood sculptures, intensely colored paintings, drawings, films and a site-specific installation.
The Heidi Horten Collection describes the presentation as the first to show von Samsonow’s multifaceted work at this breadth and intellectual depth.
It is conceived as a living space for thought and experience, with unexpected encounters, transformations and new perspectives on works from the collection.
The earth is a central subject in von Samsonow’s practice, treated as a bearer of history, life, energy and collective memory.
The exhibition’s approach places her artistic-philosophical position beyond narrow disciplinary classifications.
