Anna Meyer

The themes of equality, climate change, globalization, shift to the right and digitization dealt with by the artist become tangible in several series of images from the recent years and form into a unified narrative about our crisis-ridden present.
The exhibition title "Hopesters"-composed of the terms "Hope" and "Hipster"-refers to contradicting or fragile alliances in dealing with the complexity of our present. It is a deliberately ambiguous term that on the one hand wants to give hope for change through engagement, but also includes the downside of today's populist protest movements. Anna Meyer developed a very idiosyncratic painterly vocabulary on major future topics, which prompts people to reorient themselves.
