Alexandra Vogt's Fairy-Tale Cruelty at Autocenter Berlin
Alexandra Vogt's 2012 exhibition at Autocenter in Berlin (January 27 – February 11) revealed the full scope of her work, which had been overshadowed by her mid-2000s photographs of teenage girls with horses. The show, accompanied by a 2011 catalogue, presented a chaotic yet deliberate hang that mixed painting, ballpoint pen drawing, collage, and photography. Vogt's imagery evokes the cruelty of the Brothers Grimm, where animals behave like humans and humans transform into sexual creatures. She lives in a former industrial dairy in Bavaria, deliberately removed from art world trends.
