Lucia-Charlotte Ott
*1995, DE



currently based in Leipzig


Lucia-Charlotte Ott is observing socio-cultural, socio-political and structural movements,
which she gets in touch with either directly and physically or online. Photographic and 
moving image material often acts as a starting point for further processes and translations
into other media, physically or conceptually interweaving elements of text, sculpture and
audiovisual content. The de– and reconstruction of image and narrative as well as the use of
speculation within this process is a recurring strategy.

She holds a deep interest in artistically investigating the aesthetics of differing power systems
as well as the role of the human body in relation to public space and to the present cultures
of remembrance.
