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 />
