With a career that spans more than 40 years Bacher’s oeuvre occupies a distinctive and elusive position within contemporary art, characterized by its exploration of identity, gender norms and their inherent power dynamics, and the human condition. Her work delves deeply into themes of sexuality, politics, violence, and societal norms, frequently challenging the observer to confront uncomfortable truths. At the same time, her work also provides humor and references to popular culture. The pieces selected for this upcoming show are chosen to highlight the many angles Lutz Bacher treated the subject of contemporary society, whilst also showing how she used material in a very specific way.
