Boogie-Wall is pleased to present Tracing by Emotions exhibition featuring German-Slovenian multi-media artist Annina Roescheisen who resides and works between Munich and New-York, whose works deal with the observation, reflection and investigation of humans and their emotions.

Annina Roescheisen draws inspiration from iconography, poetry, literature, medieval art, german romanticism, gothic architecture, the fairytale, the inspection of dreams and reality, and the visible and invisible world.

“Tracing by Emotions”, depicts how Roescheisen’s holistic approach on the topic of emotions can be traced in her usage of different mediums. Roescheisen’s drawings showcase this insatiable investigation of human emotions, on the symbolic dualism of colors as well as the dualism of two worlds: the visible and invisible. She establishes a connection between these two worlds, between our rational minds and our invisible, childlike, imagination. This dual world lives within each of us and transforms and transmutes overtime through impacting many aspects of life including cultural, educational, religious, social, political, phycological, corporal, spiritual, etc.

The amorphous faces, diluted and absorbed in the background, represent earthly elements, the rational, whereas the drippings represent the dream world, the fantastic, the untouchable, incontrollable and invisible. The colours of Black and Blue underline once again the dual symbolism. Blue for instance stands for the world of dreams, wisdom, introspection and the soul whereas it also represents the sky, water and is in most cultures historically the colour of royalty.

About the Artist

Roescheisen’s work has been exhibited in galleries worldwide, including the 56th Venice Biennale, at the GAA Foundation in the context of the European Pavilion where her work was shown among well - known artists such as Daniel Buren and Yoko Ono.

Since 2012 she is performing in” Systema Occam” by highly acclaimed French contemporary artist Xavier Veilhan. This performance was shown at the MAMO/ Le Corbusier in Marseille, the Delacroix Museum in Paris, the Hermès Foundation in Paris, and the French Alliance Institute in New York, to name a few.

In the context of Roescheisen’s social and philanthropic engagements she collaborates with institutions worldwide such as the United Nations Foundation and the BWM Foundation Herbert Quandt. She has been invited to numerous public talks including the World Economic Forum (Davos), Global Table (Bogota & Berlin), and Summit of Peace (Bogotá), to speak and share the impact and importance of art from an interdisciplinary approach. She believes art can be used to ensure and engage in collaborations with governments, institutions, NGOs, as well as locally with universities and individuals to promote an agenda of sustainability, social welfare, and human rights.

Roescheisen is represented by Boogie-Wall since 2020. This is her first online exhibition with the gallery.
