In her solo exhibition, the artist Sarah Ancelle Schönfeld presents a new experimental photo series. By dropping solvents of hormones, endogenous substances such as breast milk, and pharmacological substances such as the contraceptive pill on pre-exposed negatives, she creates forms that cast an aesthetic spell. The selection of substances and drugs illuminates Schönfeld’s engagement with the complex issues surrounding the control mechanisms of female reproduction. By translating processes that happen inside the body into a visual form, the artist provides us with an aesthetic access to this debate.

Prior to the exhibition, the artworks will be the subject of intellectual-artistic discussions featuring, among others, Dr. Jeannie Moser (literary and cultural studies scholar), Prof. Dr. Christina Vagt (media scholar), Ashkan Sepahvand (artist), Prof. Dr. Esther Leslie (political aesthetics, and Dr. Dehlia Hannah (philosopher of science).
