Galerie Gisela Capitain is delighted to present its seventh exhibition with the American artist Zoe Leonard.
In the presented group of works from 2016, themes of dislocation, statelessness and alienation are explored as both personal experiences and social conditions.
The source material for this body of work is the artists' own family photographs, which depict members of her family, displaced by World War II, as they travel from place to place as stateless people during the
postwar years until they eventually emigrated to the United States. Leonard's exploration opens up an engagement with our current global political situation and on the urgent questions of dislocation, uprootment, nationality, belonging and identity.
