Shirin Damerji

Press release

Shirin Damerji's current exhibition at Galerie Françoise Heitsch is dedicated to her mother Astrid. For several years now, the artist has repeatedly placed deceased people from her immediate surroundings at the center of her works – she calls them “portraits in absentia”. The new cycle of works, which combines a variety of media and techniques, now revolves around the person of her mother and her own relationship with her.
