Guiding
principle:
Tschäpe's
work explores
landscape as
a site of
morphological
transformation.
The natural
world forms
the stage in
which abstract
primordial
scenes of
longing, sex
and death
play out.
Fernweh:
Deriving their
titles from
the German
word for
"wanderlust,"
Tschäpe's
landscapes in
this watercolor
series propose
an ethereal
jumble of
memory
and desire.
On view at:

Berlin.
