Raphaela Vogel's solo exhibition She Shah at Westfälischer Kunstverein explores technology and power dynamics

Raphaela Vogel's exhibition, She Shah, is currently showcased at Westfälischer Kunstverein in Münster, running until February 12, 2017. Her artwork emphasizes technology, utilizing scanners, action cameras, and drones to craft performance-oriented films. These films, set to heavy-metal music, display altered visuals projected onto structures made of metal rods, ropes, foils, and found objects. In works like mogst mi du ned, mog i di (2015), Vogel explores the interplay between the body, space, and technology, often featuring herself as a central figure. Her so-called 'video-sculptures' use drones with minicameras to draw viewers into themes of surveillance and control. Notable pieces include painted animal hides in Raphaela (2015) and installations using urinals and shisha pipes in She Shah (2016). Based in Amsterdam, Vogel is represented by BQ in Berlin, and her work is highlighted in the January & February 2017 issue of ArtReview, with support from K11 Art Foundation.
