In this rarely seen work by Hanne Lippard she doubles down on her use of language, voice, and found image to dig into mechanisms of power and domination. Here, the urban landscape, and the economies that shape it, becomes a site for dry, almost viscous, humour.

BIOGRAPHY

Hanne Lippard lives in Berlin and works across performance, reading, sound recordings, and installations. Within the variation of these formats, the voice is her main medium. Most recently she has concentrated on the use of the female body as a vessel for sound, the conscious as well as unconscious automatisation of speech and language. Recent solo exhibitions include The Myths and Realities of Achieving Financial Independence, CCA Berlin-Center for Contemporary Arts, Berlin; Le langage est une peau, FRAC Lorraine, Metz; SUPERHOST 2021, MUHKA -Museum of Contemporary Art, Antwerp; and Flesh, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin.
