My central concern is,
to include bodily processes in my paintings
and to take myself as a model
because I can go furthest with myself
Annegret Soltau deals with the image of herself with the greatest persistence and radicalism. In her sensually tangible photo oversewings and -stitchings, she spins threads over photographic self-portraits with relentless pinpricks, tears open inner worlds, and in turn closes the resulting injuries with needle and thread. Although the initial focus of her work is primarily on herself, her work encompasses the history of mankind as a whole. Her themes seem as archaic as they are strikingly topical: the image of the body, violence, pregnancy and birth, generational sequences, and the search for one's own roots. In the process, an oeuvre has emerged that captivates through its contrasting facets, its drastic and at the same time its intimacy. The viewer becomes a witness to an unsparingly analytical expression of art.
