Forgotten apple, 2024
Lena Valenzuela's research focuses on the representation of the white western
female figure and the clichés surrounding issues of race, power and gender.
Exploring themes, codes and colors associated by default with a category of
people, she delves into the roots of preconceived thought patterns evolving in
our societies. By creating ghostly compositions that speak to our humanity, she
also finds a balance between the notion of kitsch and symbolism.
Lena Valenzuela de la Hoz (*1989, DE) lives and works in Berlin. She graduated from the Universität der Künste in Berlin in the class of Valerie Fabre.
