Frances and me

In July 2020, Martina Ziegler launched the project „Frances and me“ together with her daughter Frances (*1998). A cross-generational artistic collaboration and at the same time a tribute to the US conceptual artist Jenny Holzer, who celebrated her seventieth birthday in the same year.
Under the title „Protect me from what I want „* the different perspectives, goals and experiences flow together. This series is also about analog imagination and digital deconstruction. Portraits painted by Frances are placed in a new context through Martina’s technique. The result is a very personal, sometimes ironic and provocative synergy. The titles play an essential role, as the text and image combinations are meant to encourage the viewer to engage with themselves.
