In her paintings which oscillate between figuration and abstraction, Veronika Hilger (*1981) addresses classical subjects such as landscape, still life and portrait. She arranges, moves, layers and alters picture elements through a very slow painting process until the outcome feels ‘natural’ to her. In this way, nature serves to explore the processes and possibilities of painting, not the other way around.

Anna Vogel (*1981) creates photos or combinations of photography, drawing and print, thematically dealing with digital communication, nature, history and biology. The series Ignifer transports a peculiar analogy between “carrying fire” and “fighting fire”. We see images of aerial firefighting without the planes. There are just the fire-retardant chemicals in colors such as red, blue, and white inundating and spraying over deserted landscapes.
