PARIS, FRANCE.- The Pompidou Center presents Amelie von Wulffen, on view through May 2, 2005. Amelie von Wulffen, an artist from Berlin, is one of the most remarkable figures on the young German art scene. She explores the collective memory through her vast works on paper, in which she combines photography, painting and drawing. The exhibition includes a selection of her recent works, some of which have been specially created for Paris.

In her collages, drawings and photographic double exposures, the German artist Amelie von Wulffen (b. 1966) engages in biographical research and reconstructions. Traumatic rooms, ruins, but also objects of memory spin imaginary coordinates, creating a web of longings that ranges from Solzhenitsyn and John Travolta to the artist's own grandmother, although, in the latter, the autobiographical reference always rests on the assurance of the larger historical context. Amelie von Wulffen exploits avant-garde practices to create a poetic fabric of widely varied realities.
