The Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen is the first German institution to present an overview of the groundbreaking work of the painter, psychoanalyst, and philosopher Bracha Lichtenberg Ettinger (BRACHA), who was born in Tel Aviv in 1948. The exhibition includes her most recent paintings, examples of her early work from the 1980s, and artist’s books in which BRACHA comments on current events in drawings and ink painting. Early on, BRACHA used the photocopier to create images, mixed ashes into pigments, and explored the possibility of reproducing documents of mass murder. In her paintings, which evolve over a period of four to nine years in an unconscious process, female victims of the Shoah encounter figures from ancient myths. BRACHA’s art focuses on the vulnerability and the interdependence of all life. In doing so, she inspires a younger generation of artists interested in inherited trauma and healing. BRACHA’s ethical and aesthetic program points the way out of the destructive black-and-white logic of today’s algorithm-driven conflicts and opens up new spaces for humanity, compassion, and openness to the future.
