In intense portraits, she exposes power, fragility, exclusion and self-determination – and holds up a […]


Yvonne Standke-Schramm

“Betrogenes Glück” invites you on an allegorical journey about hopes and disappointments. The title refers to a deceptive happiness – a promise that does not stand up to reality. How can development succeed in a world in which the shimmering dreams of childhood are overtaken by the demands of adulthood? Freedom and lightness seem like […]

With his accompanying texts, […]

The former recognizes the inviolability of every human being’s dignity. It should be the foundation for ethical behavior […]

Now the focus is on the hidden forms, folds, cracks and fractures, the rough edges that become visible through the power of […]
