Exhibition Text

With Confusion model into a butterfly, the Kunstverein für Mecklenburg und Vorpommern in Schwerin presents Adriana Ramic’s first institutional solo exhibition in Germany. Shaped by the experience of a transcultural childhood, questions of language, translation, and belonging are reflected throughout her artistic practice. Working across installation, video, and text, her works engage with questions of hybrid identities, transcultural forms of knowledge, and the limits of anthropocentric modes of thought. Adriana Ramic develops poetic, conceptual works that operate equally analytically and speculatively, making visible connections to political realities of both the present and the past. At the center of her exhibition at the Kunstverein is a video installation that follows the cat Oursa in her living environment. She lives in the former residence of the Albanian dictator Enver Hoxha, which is now used as an artist residency and cultural center, where the artist was in residence at the end of last year. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalog project.
