In her work, New York-based artist Wangechi Mutu, who was born in Kenya, addresses issues related to black female identity between Western consumer culture, African politics and postcolonial history. She became known for her collages that vacillate between beauty and horror: By using the most various materials such as glitter, tape or animal furs in combination with magazine clippings, she creates idiosyncratic pieces that present the female body in a distorted, seductive, or commanding way and in a state of constant transformation. At the Deutsche Guggenheim, Deutsche Bank presents the work of Wangechi Mutu, one of the most interesting artists of the current U.S. art scene, for the first time in an institutional solo exhibition in Germany.
