Franco-German artist Isabelle Krötsch‘s work admixes the oldmasterly<br />
with the quickly sketched, expressionism with technical<br />
realism. She confronts logos with myth. Her drawings, paintings,<br />
and collages encourage reflections about nature and culture, technology<br />
and architecture. Objects and people from various epochs<br />
are combined surrealistically in her work, thereby lensing critical<br />
focus on the dilemmas of today.<br />
Isabelle Krötsch studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart.<br />
Since 2001 she has worked as a painter and scenographer, her<br />
multi-layered work gesturing the story behind the story at such<br />
venues as Theater Basel, Theater Lübeck, State Theater Kassel, and<br />
State Theater Stuttgart. Continuing the meta-dialogue were her set<br />
designs for Am Anfang ein Ende (Munich Opera Festival, 2002),<br />
and WestZeitStory (Hannover State Opera, Stuttgart State Opera,<br />
2001-2006). Together with Japanese pianist Masako Ohta, Krötsch<br />
created the short film Steinway Stimmen for the Kassel State Theater.<br />
Since 2010 she has worked in tandem with her husband, the<br />
actor Hans Kremer, on a series of multimedia projects. The pair‘s<br />
accomplishments include the three-day performance DANTON.<br />
DENK.RAUM, and the cinema film BÜCHNER.LENZ.LEBEN.<br />
Her work, Tsunami/Sturm IV (2012), referencing the Fukushima<br />
catastrophe, expresses the crumbling of our everyday. It is presented<br />
to NFFAward recipient Alexander Kmentt.<br />
Film Grec (2012) is a meditation on our ambiguous future. Are the<br />
three human figures Greeks, the losers at European roulette? Or,<br />
global warming thawing the land from beneath their feet, are they<br />
a trio of <strong>In</strong>iut? The collage is presented to the Cree of Mistissini.<br />
