Katharina Gahlert

At the BBKarium Dessau, Katharina Gahlert is presenting her latest works in paper and textiles. Her collages tell stories of changing landscapes, of memory, and of the traces left behind by time and nature. Empty rivers and dust on our hearts. We can still sense the current that shaped the landscape. The dry riverbed traces the movement of the water. The paper and textile collages tell of what once was, of the memory of it, and of how the present, past, and future flow into one another.

Katharina Gahlert studied art education at the University of Leipzig, as well as painting, textile arts, and jewelry design at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle. Today, she lives and works in Gimritz in the Saale District.
